Portfolio Review: 3 Stocks And 3 ETFs I'm Buying To Boost My Passive Income
Given heightened economic uncertainty, I am leaning more defensive and sticking with my dividend growth investing strategy, emphasizing diversification and income stability. The frozen housing market, soft labor conditions, and stagnating consumer spending signal potential economic weakness, despite optimism in select sectors like tech. My ETF portfolio review shows shifting leadership, with midstream energy outperforming previously, but preferreds and tech-focused ETFs now leading as trends evolve.

Preferred Stocks With Room To Run
I built a preferred stock portfolio starting in 2022 in anticipation of falling inflation and interest rates, which has delivered strong double-digit returns. With fiscal and monetary policy now more aligned, I expect inflation to return to the Fed's 2% target and falling interest rates creating further upside for preferred stocks and ETFs. Preferred stocks RITM.PR.D, ABR.PR.F, CIM.PR.C, and ETFs PFFA, PFFR, and PFXF should benefit from declining rates over the next year.

PFFA: The Case For Active Management With Preferred Stock
According to S&P Dow Jones Indices' latest SPIVA data, 76.26% of all US large-cap active funds underperformed the S&P 500 Index over the five years ending December 31, 2024. Virtus InfraCap U.S. Preferred Stock ETF is one example of how a hands-on, research-driven approach may deliver value in the underappreciated corner of the market. Indexing preferreds may appear efficient, but the methodology behind most benchmarks is not well-suited to this hybrid asset class.

How I've Built A Monster Passive Income Portfolio (And What I'm Buying Now)
I remain committed to dividend growth investing, adapting my strategy to balance growth, yield, and defensiveness amid demographic and economic shifts. My 'galley ship' portfolio model uses ballast (cash), rowers (compounders), and sails (high-yielders) to optimize for both income growth and stability. Recent portfolio adjustments focus on defensive, recession-resistant stocks and ETFs, emphasizing passive income growth regardless of market cycles.
