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.

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.

PCN: High Income With An Active Brain

PIMCO Corporate & Income Strategy Fund (PCN) offers high income via a diversified, actively managed, leveraged credit portfolio, sensitive to credit cycles and financing costs. Current market conditions—compressed but stable spreads, normalizing yield curve, and reasonable liquidity—support a neutral-constructive stance on PCN; enter only at a NAV discount. Maintain a HOLD or cautiously accumulate PCN if NAV discount is attractive; avoid overexposure due to leverage and monitor for signals of spread widening or financial tightening.

PIMCO taxable CEFs show persistently low distribution coverage, raising the risk of future distribution cuts and potential valuation hits. Current valuations across the PIMCO suite are not attractive, with premiums and tight credit spreads limiting upside potential. Tight credit spreads and a flat yield curve mean limited additional income growth on leverage, even if short-term rates decline as expected by the market.

My 10% Income Portfolio-Protecting The NAV

Caring about dividends can increase our returns, but caring about NAV can save our portfolio. Return and NAV protection must go hand in hand, because there can be no sustainable return without protecting the value of the underlying assets. As far as I am concerned, the way to protect my portfolio is to favor only securities with a positive NAV over time.
