FYI: It’s no secret the past few years have been abysmal for investors seeking income. Though considered to be province mostly of retirees and near retirees, income equities are a sizeable portion of asset allocation for nearly all sorts of investors, young, middle age, institutional endowments, and the like.
With interest rates still at historic lows, the yield on the most common income asset, U.S. Treasurys, have been absolutely terrible. The common “4% rule” for retirement withdrawals could never cope long term at today’s yield.
