This portfolio contains dividend companies, non-dividend companies, BDC's, MLP's, CEF's including municipal bond funds, a regular mutual fund, and ETF's. I'll use any type of asset as long as it supports the overall portfolio objective.

As for CEF's, there must be over 30 of them, but note how they are all the smallest holdings and most of them equally weighted. I can get hit with 4 or 5 cuts at once and not have a lot of damage done, while having time to adjust.

Out of 72 holdings, the worst performing holding on share price is CCD -5.1% but yields 10.27%. When distributions are added back in for total return, it is positive. If price drops and exceeds the yield, I will do a review. If I see it has a chance of rebounding, I'll average down, otherwise it will be sold. I will not take steep drop downs on these assets. Capital preservation is one of the objectives.

As you can see above, I have assets designed for capital growth, some for dividend growth, some for high income, some for capital preservation. In keeping with these objectives, if anyone has any ideas on how to improve, please share.

The performance from Schwab: YTD
