Re: LEGACY PORTFOLIO ... FORMERLY KNOWN AS THE OLDER FOLK PORTFOLIO 2.0 (OFP 2.0) ... Updated 08/02/2025

This portfolio wants to combine growth, income and capital preservation, especially capital preservation. It's a blend of objectives.
===============================================

The total balance for both accounts:

Balance: $2,035,467
Annual Income: $109,149

===============================================

Taxable Account:

Portfolio Value: $1,696,350
Annual Income: $78,442
Portfolio Yield: 4.62%

** This is not organic growth. SGOV does not pay a dividend but due to the amount of payments it has made over the last few years, the payouts showed a lot of interest rate growth and SSD includes that in the dividend growth number.
YTD Performance:

Taxable Account: Down -0.17% (was down -8.51% on last update.)
S&P 500: .......... Up +6.85%
