This might be get me some hate, but it’s something that should be said 

If you do not plan to consistently use the income from income focused ETF’s within 3-5 years, do NOT buy them.

Why? They will almost always lose in total return, it’s the nature of how these funds work. 

They cap their upside in order to send a distribution on whatever underlying it’s based on. There are some exceptions!
But in general, if you have a 5+ year time line id strongly suggest owning stock / index’s / bitcoin itself and THEN when you already to draw income from your portfolio manage your holdings as needed 💰

NFA - just my opinion and what data says


XXXXX engagements
