These Assets Helped Me Achieve $3000 In Monthly Dividend Income
I transitioned from traditional S&P 500 index funds to high-yield dividend assets to build a more secure income stream. I eventually crossed an average above $3K per month. Business Development Companies like Ares Capital and Blackstone Secured Lending offer high dividend yields, making them attractive for income-focused portfolios. Option ETFs, such as JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF, provide substantial income but may underperform traditional indexes in total return.
