Re: Middle Age Portfolio ... Add on Buy.

Today I was adding more ASG.

My objective is to create more income. As retirement comes closer and closer, I need to insure that the amount of income needed to retire is there when the time comes. Thus, I don't wish to chance focusing growth more than income in the event growth takes too long to develop. Therefore, I will control what I can control and that's building the income stream now. Growth can come later. One must set priorities and the priority here is income.

I started a new position in ASG last month in this portfolio. I started out with a $750 investment using some of the dividends tht hit the account and today I added another $800 to the position from dividends received the last week or two.

About the fund:

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through investment primarily in a diversified portfolio of equity securities. Liberty All-Star Growth Fund, Inc. is a multi-managed fund focused on small, mid and large-capitalization growth stocks.

The key here is ... long-term capital appreciation ... as its primary objective.

If you look at their 5 and 10 year total returns, you'll see where they have outperformed the S&P 500.

It has a 7.76% yield, is selling at a discount of 2.12% to NAV where the fund has an average 5.90% premium to NAV over the last 52 weeks. The 52 week high was a premium of 15.19%, so it has a ways to go to hit another 52 week high.

The primary reason the price dropped, presenting an opportunity to buy at a discount, is because of a rights offering which has been finalized, so I would think ASG can get back to doing what it was doing to earn the premiums it once did.

This may not be suitable for everyone as the primary objective is not income, it is capital appreciation long-term and due to the fund investing in smaller cap companies, one must be patient for those capital gains to develop.
