BIZD: A 10%+ Yield ETF To Hedge S&P 500 Contraction Risk
BIZD has a 30-Day SEC Yield of 10.29%, competitive in the market, with a positive 5+ year CAGR and an expense ratio of 0.44%. BDCs have proven to be a good hedge against S&P 500 contractions, maintaining strong margins even in restrictive credit conditions. BIZD is concentrated, with 76% in the top 10 holdings, but remains fairly priced (Grade D). A single-stock portfolio would be more efficient but harder to manage.

Focusing On Quality And Growth: 2 Dividend Stalwarts I'm Buying To Start 2025
I continue to buy quality stocks like Pepsi and Waste Management, focusing on both income and growth, despite the market's high valuation. My portfolio strategy has evolved from being income-heavy with REITs and BDCs to a balanced approach including growth stocks that can deliver high single to double-digit growth. Pepsi, despite short-term headwinds, offers a 3.5% yield and is expected to deliver at least 5% growth annually, making it a solid investment.

However, not all high-yielding dividend growth stocks are worth buying. As a result, caution is needed when investing in high-yield, high-growth stocks.
