Our Multi-Asset Class Strategy
Utilizing our multi-asset class strategy allows us to build a diversified portfolio using historical yields as a guide. To determine the historical yield for each asset class, we looked at a 10-year range for the Alerian MLP Index (MLPs), MSCI US REIT Index (REITs), S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index (Dividend Stocks), S Network Composite CEF Index (CEFs), Bloomberg Aggregate Bond Index (Bonds), iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (Preferreds/Convertibles). We used a range that was +/- two standard deviations from the 10-year average and rounded to the nearest 1%.
