The 8%+ Dividends
Vanguard Wants to
Keep From You
REVEALED in this NEW investor report:
- A “hidden” world where YOU—not Wall Street—hold all the cards! The ignored funds I’m about to expose are positioned for 30%+ TOTAL RETURNS in the next 12 months—and they’ll deliver a large portion of their gains in CASH!
- 5 amazing funds with dividends up to 12.4%! Drop $500K into these cash machines and you could kick-start a $48,000 yearly income stream.
- Why the big ETF companies are terrified of these “hidden” funds. If more people knew about them, they’d never buy an ETF again!
Dear Reader,
What I’m about to tell you may sound like a bit of a stretch…
Because Wall Street and the financial press have drilled it into our heads that we can have high dividends or capital gains in a single investment … but not both.
And dividends of 8%, 10% or higher?!
The so-called experts will tell you that any payout that big is a recipe for disaster.
But that’s just plain wrong.
The truth is, there are plenty of stocks throwing off safe yields of that size (and much bigger) right now. But you’ll never hear about them from your broker, the media or anyone on Wall Street.
Why?
Because it’s easier for advisors and pundits to talk up familiar names, like the 50+ mega-cap dividend-growth stocks on the list of “Dividend Aristocrats,” than do any real legwork for folks like you.
Too bad the average so-called Aristocrat yields just 2% as I write this. So even if you invested a million bucks into these overhyped dividend plays, you’d get just $20,000 of yearly income for your effort.
But Wall Street doesn’t care. They get paid either way.
Then there are the big ETF providers, like WisdomTree, iShares and, of course, Vanguard, which throw huge marketing dollars at “dumb” funds like the SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY).
You probably know SPY. You may even own it. I say it’s “dumb” because it simply uses a computer algorithm to track the S&P 500.
But the billionaire set knows the score.
Many of them have invested their personal wealth in the “hidden” market of funds I’ll reveal in just a few more paragraphs.
These funds have all the convenience of ETFs plus massive yields that are 4, 5 and 6 times higher!
No wonder the big fund companies are putting their full marketing punch behind ETFs.
If more people knew about these “hidden” funds, and the huge returns they’ve generated (with much of those gains in dividend cash, thanks to their outsized yields) they’d never buy an ETF again!
Consider one of the “hidden funds” I’ll tell you about below, which has returned an incredible 917% since the 2008/’09 financial crisis.
It’s a long-time income generator, too, and boasts an outsized 9% yield as I write this.
Think about that for a moment. Over that 15-year period, this fund returned 917%, including huge dividend payouts.
That’s the kind of return an income investment just isn’t supposed to deliver. But that’s the profit-making power these hidden funds offer, and it’s something you’ll never get with an ETF!
This ignored fund, which traces its roots back to 1986, holds an expertly crafted portfolio, including proven wealth generators like shares of Amazon.com (AMZN), Visa (V) and UnitedHealth Group (UNH).
These are all rock-solid, well-established, mainly American companies. No penny-stock speculations that explode one day and collapse the next. No short selling. No shadowy derivatives.
I’m talking about familiar names you’d find in any ETF.
I’m not cherry-picking returns here, either.
Because there are plenty of others that have delivered huge returns and amazing cash streams to boot.
Like the Liberty All-Star Equity Fund (USA) that also focuses on well-established US blue chips.
Over just the last 10 years, USA delivered a stout 206% return despite the COVID crash and the 2022 Fed-driven panic. And thanks to the fund’s outsized dividend, which yields 10.4% presently, a huge slice of that gain was in dividend cash!
USA Delivers Strong Dividends and Gains
The Columbia Seligman Premium Tech Growth Fund (STK) did even better, soaring 386%. It yields a nice 6% today.
Big Profits Keep on Coming
I could go on and on, but the takeaway is this: the next time someone tells you that you should simply “settle” for the pathetic payouts most ETFs dribble out, tell them to forget it.
Because you CAN have big, ETF-beating dividends and ETF-crushing gains in one buy!
Your 1-Click Buy Indicator for
BIG Gains and Income
So what exactly are the off-the-radar funds I keep going on about?
I won’t keep you waiting any longer.
These “hidden market” funds are actually closed-end funds (CEFs).
We don’t have to go too far into the weeds here—suffice it to say that CEFs can generate these big gains and monster dividends for one simple reason: once they go through an IPO they don’t issue new shares to new investors.
That means they often trade for far less than the value of their portfolios (called the net asset value, or NAV).
When those discounts get extra wide, we make our move … then sit back and wait as their unusual discounts snap back to their normal levels.
It really is that easy!
Well-known investor Boaz Weinstein said it better than I ever could!
You go into [a CEF] hoping the discount will narrow on its own, but one of the nicest points about this investment is that while you wait, you earn an above-average yield, given the discounted price.
And he really nailed it when he called CEFs “a rare corner of the market where retail investors can get an edge over institutions.”
By now, I’m sure you can see the profit opportunity here. But most people have sleep-walked right by CEFs for a silly reason…
Millions of Dollars … Just Waiting to Be Scooped Up
So why isn’t everyone piling into CEFs these days?
Simple: fees.
That CEF with the smartly built portfolio of blue chips I told you about earlier (and will give you more details in just a second) charges 1.1% in management fees as I write—12 TIMES more than SPY.
I’ll admit this sounds insane. And it’s enough to send most folks running away screaming.
But don’t be fooled.
Because that knee-jerk response has been pounded into us by the big ETF companies, who preach that any fee above the absolute minimum is a complete and utter ripoff.
But keep in mind that all of the CEF returns I’ve shown you today are net of fees.
I don’t know about you, but I’m happy to pay a few hundred bucks more in fees over decades if it means bagging THOUSANDS of dollars in dividend cash and gains!
Which brings me back to the 5 CEFs I’ll show you shortly.
Here’s what my research team and I have these off-the-radar funds pegged to deliver:
- Life-changing gains: Thanks to their unusual discounts, each of the 5 CEFs I’ll show you below could soar 20% (and MORE) on a price basis in the next 12 months, PLUS …
- MASSIVE dividend payouts: As I mentioned, these 5 “sleeper” funds throw off an 9.6% average dividend yield!
An Overlooked Hunting Ground Stocked With Big, Bargain-Priced Dividends
At this point, you’re probably wondering who I am and why you should listen to me.
My name is Michael Foster, and I’m one of the only analysts in the world who is 100% devoted to CEFs with market caps around $1 billion or less.
Why less than $1 billion?
Because this is the most overlooked corner of the already overlooked CEF space! It’s where the biggest discounts—and the biggest upside—live.
I can’t wait to tell you all about these under-the-radar cash machines, which literally changed my life, handing me an additional income stream that helped me quit my job as a university professor—and the grinding 80-hour weeks that went with it.
Since then, these powerful income generators have delivered the gains I’ve needed to boost my net worth, travel the world and live the life I want to live.
Now I’m not saying everyone’s experience will be like mine, but that’s the kind of punch these funds pack. And now it’s time for me to tell you about 5 of my favorite CEFs.
“Hidden” Fund Pick #1: 917%
Gains and 9% Dividends
Our first CEF pick is that nearly 38-year-old stock fund I mentioned earlier, the one that delivered that massive 917% return.
Plus, as I mentioned, it yields an impressive 9%, too!
So why isn’t this cash machine, which is run by some of the smartest minds in asset management, a household name?
For one, this CEF doesn’t do much marketing. It won’t show up in publications like the Wall Street Journal or Barron’s.
Instead, it quietly hunts for value and creates steadily growing wealth for investors lucky enough to know about it.
For another, if you strip out the dividend and look at the fund on a price basis alone, its return looks a lot smaller…
The Herd’s Looking at the Wrong Chart!
It’s only when you add this fund’s monstrous dividend back in that you get that incredible 917% gain, which, as you can see, was almost entirely in CASH…
Dividends Make the Difference
Yet as I write, this fund trades at an 8.1% discount to NAV! That’s ridiculous for a top-notch CEF like this.
As more investors discover this one, that discount will narrow, catapulting the fund’s price higher while we collect that 9% dividend!
Let’s grab a position now. I’ll show you how in a moment.
First, I want to tell you about …
“Hidden” Fund Pick #2: A 12.4%
Payer That’s a Contrarian’s Dream
Our next CEF is paying a massive 12.4% dividend, and it’s got upside on tap from an unexpected source: an activist manager known for buying CEFs and shaking them up.
And this one is a prime target for our savvy activist’s moves. That’s because its mandate includes ESG, which, in light of today’s political environment, is on the way out. And now, thanks to our activist buyer, I see this CEF finally shedding that tired approach.
As it does, its true value will be unleashed. And there is a lot of value here: This fund is run by a renowned CEF manager, and its corporate-bond holdings are top-notch. It’s just the ESG label that’s holding it back.
As it vanishes, this fund’s wide discount to NAV will narrow, catapulting its share price higher. Those gains will be accompanied by that 12.4% payout, which we’ll happily collect.
“Hidden” Fund Pick #3: A 9.6%
Payer With an Incredible
Inside Edge
Our next CEF is paying a massive, and safe, 9.6% dividend, but the star attraction here is management.
This fund is run by a firm that has, hands-down, the deepest research resources at its disposal, plus a broad network of connections in the bond world.
This (quite literal) embarrassment of riches has helped it assemble a portfolio of corporate bonds that feature a lot less risk than many folks think.
That’s because, thanks to its management firm’s massive size, it can get info about its bond issuers that almost no one else can—because it owns huge stakes in these companies already.
That’s right: it’s lending cash to firms it already has a ton of access to! That familiarity gives it near-insider knowledge about the bonds it buys.
And it’s all perfectly legal.
No wonder this fund can sustain that massive 9.6%. And the upside coming our way as more investors discover this huge, safe “insider-backed” payout makes the deal even sweeter.
More on how we’ll start tapping the outsized returns this fund is primed to send our way in just a few more seconds.
First I have to tell you about my last two picks, starting with…
“Hidden” Fund Pick #4: 8.1%
Dividends From America’s
Sturdiest REITs
My next CEF pick generates a huge income stream by holding the stocks with some of the highest dividends in investing: real estate investment trusts (REITs).
Payouts of 5% and more are available in the REIT space, for two reasons:
- These companies own steady, income-producing real estate. Their cash flows are very predictable, so they can hand over most of their rent checks to you as dividends, and …
- They have to pay out 90% of their income as dividends by law! If they don’t, the IRS will revoke their REIT status.
And when we buy our REITs through a CEF like Pick No. 4, we get even bigger payouts, as our expert managers juice our dividends through their portfolio gains, dividend hikes from the REITs they own and a very conservative use of leverage, a savvy strategy given that these managers have access to capital at very low rates.
Best of all, this fund holds the best REITs to prosper in the post-COVID world. I’m talking about data-center REITs like Equinix (EQIX) whose services will stay in high demand as AI consumes more computing power, and industrial landlord Prologis (PLD), which is profiting as more companies move production back to the US.
This fund gets little attention due to its small size, which is part of the reason why it trades at an undeserved 8.9% discount now.
With a portfolio perfectly tuned to the shifts we’re living through today, I see Pick No. 4’s discount soaring deep into premium territory in short order—boosting our gains when it does. The time to buy is now, before that happens.
“Hidden” Fund Pick #5: An 8.9%
Payer That Turns Volatility
Into Cash
We’re going to add my fifth pick to profit when markets turn ugly.
Because investors in this fund pocket dividends that get higher and safer the stormier markets get.
Pick No. 5 pulls off that trick with a safe option strategy that has driven its yield all the way up to an eye-popping 8.9%. That payout gets extra support from Pick No. 5’s portfolio, with top holdings in Microsoft (MSFT), Apple (AAPL) and Alphabet (GOOGL).
This one trades at a 10% discount as I write, and I expect that to shrink as rates drop from here, removing one source of volatility—the Fed—from the picture.
That makes our plan simple: pocket Pick No. 5’s high yield now, then ride the closing discount higher, grabbing some nice upside before we sell this fund into the next bull market. Rinse and repeat!
To give you the full story on all 5 of these picks and everything you need to know to reap big, safe profits from CEFs, I’ve prepared 4 FREE in-depth guides, starting with:
Special Report #1 (a $99 value):
Your first Special Report, “5 Hidden Income Plays the ETF Companies Don’t Want You to Know About,” gives you all the profitable details on these 5 red-hot CEF picks.
You’ll get:
- Names, ticker symbols and in-depth backstory before you buy.
- Details on how each fund makes its money, what’s behind its unusual discount and why that gap is set to slam shut, propelling us to 20%+ potential price gains in the next 12 months!
- In-depth analysis of the people behind each of these funds. This is something too many investors ignore but is absolutely vital for safe CEF profits. CEFs are all I cover, so I spend my days studying the moves of these investment pros. And yes, that includes phoning them up and talking to them directly.
- And much more!
Special Report #2 (a $99 value):
Your source for all things CEF, “The Ultimate Guide to CEFs” gives you everything you need to know to reap maximum profit from your own CEF picks, including:
- How CEFs can pay outsized dividend yields—and a simple way to make sure your fund’s payout is sustainable.
- The relationship between CEF performance and management fees (it’s not what you think!)
- The simple trick CEF managers regularly use to keep their funds’ discounts from getting too wide (this unique “insurance” simply doesn’t exist in stocks, bonds or ETFs).
- The surprising reason why the liquidation of a CEF is actually good news for investors.
Special Report #3 (a $99 value):
The fourth guide is called “5 Toxic CEFs That Could Ruin Your Retirement.”
These 5 funds look attractive but contain hidden traps waiting to snap on the unwary, including:
- Outrageously high fees hidden deep in the fine print (in one case, management is snagging a little less than half of the fund’s investment income for itself!).
- Ridiculous valuations: One of these funds simply holds other CEFs, a dead-simple business model, yet it trades at a premium and charges a 2.8% management fee, too!
- Dangerous dividends, like the 16%+ yields two of these funds pay. But because these funds trade at absurd premiums, they’re at risk of a sharp drop that would be magnified by a (very probable) dividend cut.
Special Report #4 (a $99 value):
Your fourth and final report, “4 Great CEFs to Buy Now: 9.8% Yields and 20% Upside Ahead,” gives you all the profitable details on 4 more CEF picks poised to hand you big upside and dividend income in the next year—and beyond.
You’ll discover:
- A real estate fund with a portfolio that’s perfect for today’s tech-driven world. Its management team has made timely moves into critical warehouse, communication-tower, data-center and healthcare plays. Even so, this fund trades at a 1% discount to NAV that’s well on its way to a steep premium. AND we’re getting an incredible 10.2% dividend, too!
- A 9.6% payer that’s dialed in to the post-COVID economy. This CEF has it all: a great management team, a 9.6% dividend and a valuation that’s headed deep into premium territory. It holds bonds from travel, aerospace and energy companies, all of which continue to see strong revenue, and all of which are poised to book higher profits as interest rates decline.
- A rock-solid bond fund paying 10.9%. Our third fund holds top-quality bonds from big-name issuers. It’s got a history of thriving in any rate environment, and the high-paying bonds it’s collected will be in higher demand as rates decline. A 6.2% discount seals the deal.
- An 8.3% dividend from an income powerhouse. Our fourth pick holds the biggest blue chips from across the US. Grab this one before investors catch on to its decades-long performance record and ridiculously cheap 10.8% discount.
