John Waggoner: 10 Funds With Yields Of 4% Or More

FYI: If you have a client who is craving income from her portfolio, you’ve probably had to explain that these days, the income from most investments would fit in an ant’s shoebox, with enough room left over for the crumbs from yesterday’s picnic. Currently, the 10-year Treasury note yields 2.2%, and the average money market fund pays just 0.47%.

You can get higher yields from other investments, but with those higher yields come higher risks. Mixing together several high-yielding funds, however, may mitigate some of that risk. Here are 10 funds whose yields — both 12-month trailing and 30-day SEC yields — are above 4%.
Regards,
Ted
