My Income Portfolio - Looking For Dividends

Dividend investing provides a consistent income stream, beneficial for those seeking passive income, while growth stocks may require selling shares to realize gains. Seeking dividend income does not rule out focusing on the growth of the portfolio's nominal value, thanks to many funds that see their NAV grow over time. These securities offer a dual advantage: immediate returns through regular, periodic distributions, and capital appreciation through long-term NAV increase.

My Income Portfolio: Dividends Are Forever

Dividend strategies aim to generate steady streams of passive income over time. At the same time, they should not neglect capital growth, so demonstrating that dividend payouts do not erode their underlying value over the long term. A significant portion of my holdings currently show a positive NAV performance since their launch, which remains for me an equally important goal for the long run.

ETO: Expect Volatility If Inflation Surges This Summer

The Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund (ETO) offers a 7.63% yield, primarily through a portfolio heavily weighted toward common equities. ETO's allocation to bonds over preferred stocks may increase tax exposure but provides lower duration and some inflation protection. The fund's technology sector concentration and reliance on capital gains for distribution coverage could introduce volatility, especially if inflation and rates rise.

My Income Portfolio - A Random Walk

My income portfolio prioritizes resilient, high-dividend securities with long-term positive NAV trends rather than trading based on unpredictable short-term price movements. Therefore, I focus on funds that have demonstrated value creation since launch, especially those with at least a decade of performance history, with its accompanying ups and downs. In this article, I show how the NAVs of all my securities behaved during the worst moments of their existence and how they largely rebounded.

ETO: Tax-Efficient Monthly Income From Global Equities

Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund remains a buy, trading at a 7.55% discount to NAV with a 7% yield. ETO's performance is driven by tax-efficient, high-yield monthly distributions but relies heavily on net realized gains to support payouts. Leverage at 16.84% of assets amplifies returns but increases sensitivity to elevated interest rates and market downturns.

My Income Portfolio - NAV Never Lies

For those who adopt a dividend strategy, having a “thermometer” with which to measure the real performance of our stocks is an immense advantage. This thermometer is NAV, a simple line on a graph that anyone can observe and understand without the need for calculations or interpretations. If it grows over the years, it means that the security earned its distributions: if it goes down, it means that it paid them at the expense of NAV.
