Followup on Boulder Diversified Income holdings; AGC- Strips, US 10% quicktake.morningstar.com KHI- Trash, yields 11.8% quicktake.morningstar.com MCR- Not bad, foreign exposure, 8.46% quicktake.morningstar.com MMT- low on the quality end, 8.88% quicktake.morningstar.com MSD- high risk, BB yields 11% substantial latin america exposure quicktake.morningstar.com OMS- high risk, BB yields 9% mix of euro & latin america exposure quicktake.morningstar.com PMT- 9% mixed quality quicktake.morningstar.com PIM- 9%, another yield chaser? quicktake.morningstar.com PPT- 9%, mixed quality- lots of FNMA and GNMA exposure quicktake.morningstar.com DSF- decent quality, Aus/NZ exposure, yeilds 10% quicktake.morningstar.com Some overlap in the putnam names. Looks like they decided to take 10% and create a basket of higher yield income. Reasonable strategy, but I wouldn't want to own some of this. ie KHI. Of course, they probably spent more time understanding the holdings and potential risks than I have. Note to self, KHI trading at 20% premium to NAV.

Re Boulder. When I receive their latest report(requested yesterday) I will let you know if they expand on their philosophy. I was curious on how they could have such a large portfolio of good yielding reits and still barely be able to offset the expense of their leverage. For all practical purposes this is a one man show but I do like his investment philosophy, ie protect what you have. In any case he made 45% last year as well as a good gain ytd.
