Hard To Imagine Retirement Income Portfolio Without These 2 Picks
Typically, investors put a focus on high-yield securities if the goal is to live off from portfolio income streams. These high-yielding securities come from BDC, REIT, MLP, CEF and other value-oriented segments. The common drawback of them is the lack of meaningful income growth and tightly correlated exposures.

My Income Portfolio: In The Garden Of Eden
Total Return can be misleading if not supported by NAV growth, as it may include unsustainable distributions and Return of Capital. Behavioral finance shows markets are irrational, making it crucial to consider practical aspects beyond theoretical Total Return calculations. I believe that NAV performance can affect our discretion in the reinvestment choices for the distributions we receive from our savings much more than Total Return.

PDI: Its Mega-Yield Party Was Over Years Ago
PDI is no longer the fund it was at inception. It has lost its edge, and there's a real possibility it may never get it back. The fund shows a clear split-personality: one version pre-COVID, and a very different one post-COVID. I dig deeper into what changed and why. The fund's NAV has been on a steady decline since peaking in 2014. I break down the reasons behind this trend, and how it could ultimately erode wealth.

PDI: A Golden Buying Opportunity
PIMCO Dynamic Income Fund dropped 10% due to tariff panic last Friday, presenting a unique buying opportunity for income-focused investors. PDI's fixed income portfolio is set to benefit from potential Federal Reserve rate cuts in 2025, enhancing net asset value growth. The fund's current 15.6% yield is significantly above its 1-year average, indicating an attractive entry point for dividend investors.

PTY Vs. PDI: This Is The Wrong Time For PDI
Since my last analyses on PDI and PTY, the spread between short and long treasury rates has become negative, resulting in an inverted yield curve. This heightened risks for PDI more than PTY because of PDI's larger exposure to mortgage-related assets and also its heavier leverage. These considerations have led me to downgrade my PDI rating to sell.

PIMCO March 2025 Update | PDI Gets Rich, PAXS/PFN/PHK Cheaper
I recommend trimming PDI positions and rotating into cheaper PIMCO funds like PAXS, PFN, and PHK for better value and potential gains. PDI has shown strong performance, rising 5% plus distributions for a 7.8% total return in less than four months. PIMCO funds' leverage has significantly decreased, indicating a risk-off strategy, making them more stable but potentially less aggressive.
