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.

My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.
