In general, avoid the long end of the yield curve. Yields get fatter the farther out you go but also come with increased volatility.

The Fed just reversed course for the first time in three years, and private credit investors holding BDC income ETFs are about to feel it in their quarterly checks.

The Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF remains a buy for investors seeking high yield and capital preservation amid elevated interest rates. JAAA currently offers a 5.3% yield, with monthly distributions likely to rise if another Fed rate hike occurs by year-end. The fund's AAA-rated CLO tranche ensures minimal default risk, with strong diversification across 610 issuers and limited sector concentration.

Building a $100,000 dividend snowball is foundational for financial security and passive income. I detail how I would go about doing so in today's rising rate environment. I also share some specific picks and how to allocate capital on a percentage basis to build the snowball.

A $1M hybrid portfolio can generate sustainable $6,000 monthly income with growth and capital protection elements. The portfolio balances dividend growth (SCHD, VYM), credit, real assets, options, and commodities to diversify income streams and risk. Option ETFs provide high, tax-efficient income but carry NAV erosion risk during prolonged downturns or capped upside in rallies.

The Fed just moved rates higher for the first time in years, and your core bond fund gave you nothing for it.

Most investors can benefit from simple indexing. But for better diversification and ballast, here are some add-ons.

ETF launches have officially gone parabolic. Just a little more than halfway through the year, product development is already pacing to leave last year's record in the dust.

The current bull rally in equities, driven by massive AI CapEx, feels increasingly late-cycle and vulnerable to a correction. I see parallels between today's AI investment surge and past capital misallocations, such as the fiber-optic boom that failed due to the wildly inaccurate internet demand forecasts. Despite favoring high-quality, resilient, dividend-focused assets like infrastructure and internally managed BDCs (e.g., TRIN), equity risk remains pervasive.

The fund marketed as your portfolio's safety net turned a bad year into a loss most retirees still haven't recovered from, and the reason it failed points directly toward three replacements built to hold up when rates move against you.
