Since its launch in 2016, the Model Portfolio has navigated multiple market cycles and delivered a total return of approximately 150% through the past year, which equates to an average annual compound growth rate of approximately 10%.
Every position in the portfolio is tracked using an equal-weighted average, and realized gains from sold positions are included in performance, so investors can see the full impact of both current holdings and past recommendations.
Let's start by looking at the income being produced by the Model Portfolio by year. We break the portfolio into two sections, one with common equities and funds and our "Fixed-Income" portfolio consisting of preferred equity and bonds.
The Income Method generates meaningful cash flow by using a mix of income-producing securities selected and monitored by the High Dividend Opportunities team. The goal is to combine high current income with a disciplined, long-term approach that can support retirement needs and real-world spending, rather than relying solely on selling shares.
Let’s take a look at income generated with 75% withdrawals.
The team actively follows macro trends, interest rates, and company fundamentals to help manage risk and protect income through bull markets, bear markets, and recessions, focusing on where high yield is most likely to be durable.
While total return helps to illustrate overall market performance, our method is built for any market conditions.
For context, let’s take a look at total return.
