Growth Plus Income

Growth plus income model with a target annual yield of 5% using both dividend-paying stocks and bond ETFs. The equity portion allocates across multiple sectors while the income portion includes commodity trusts, REITs, MLPs and ETFs.
Top down approach to allocate across sectors and a bottom up approach for the individual positions. This model includes income-producing positions (commodity trusts, REITs, MLPs and ETFs) to reduce risk to the model.
Morningstar and several sector specific research reports including S&P Research.
Overweight sectors that they feel will outperform. Reduce risk by adding income positions to give the desired income and reduce model risk.
Close positions as they become overpriced or if PEG ratios are over 2. However, income-producing positions will be held as long as the income distribution is projected to remain constant.
Positions that have an advantage to raise cash distributions due to acquisitions or proprietary advantage will be determined as needed.
