If I Had to Pick 3 (for Income)
Date: 2025-10-05 13:32:58
This episode reveals my top three income investments: the covered call fund QQQI, the BDC fund PBDC, and the fund of funds CEFS. We’ll explore the unique role each one plays in a portfolio, from QQQI’s high tax efficiency and exposure to stocks, to PBDC’s focus on private lending, and CEFS’s extreme diversification and activist strategy. I’ll also explain why other popular asset classes didn’t make the cut, so you can think through your own process for building a portfolio, focused on diversification and consistent income.
