My Income Portfolio: Financial Awareness
The essence of financial awareness is to realize that money can work for us through our investments. Understanding the value of money is the first step toward financial education, which leads to the selection of the most appropriate tools for developing that awareness. In my case, the instruments I have adopted are largely high-income vehicles, with monthly and, in some cases, quarterly distribution.

My 9.5% Income Portfolio-Like Mosaic Tiles
Our investments, usually conceived and implemented gradually over time, are the pieces of a personal mosaic that form the whole of our assets. One solution for entering the financial markets can be Dollar-Cost Averaging (DCA), a form of investing a constant amount at regular intervals. However, initiating a plan to buy stocks according to the logic of DCA presupposes awareness of the fluctuations in financial markets and their psychological implications.

EOS: Tech-Fueled Rally Delivers, But Possibly Time To Temper Expectations
The Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II delivered strong returns in 2024, delivering on its strong historical track record thanks to a heavy tech allocation. The fund's strategy includes a 50% overwrite of its portfolio with call options, allowing for significant upside participation despite some limitations in strong bull markets. EOS has been pushing into premium territory on the back of a richly priced broader market, which suggests that investors may want to be a bit more cautious about this.

EOS: Prudent Performance Metrics And A Strong Yield
The Eaton Vance Enhanced Equity Income Fund II employs an active stock selection strategy, overlaid with an options writing program. Despite underperforming the S&P 500 since inception, its trailing ten-year results have struck an inflection point, showing excess return and a positive information ratio. EOS offers a consistent distribution yield, currently above 7%. We find the vehicle's yield commendable, despite its slightly elevated expense ratio of 1%.

Closed-End Funds: Screening For Potential Opportunites To Kick Off Q1 2025
The closed-end fund space saw a significant narrowing of discounts throughout 2024 as equity markets charged higher and now discounts remain tight heading into 2025. In particular, equity CEFs have seen significantly narrowed discounts along with taxable fixed-income, though municipal bond funds look relatively attractive after widening discounts in December. We are screening for funds with the deepest discounts and widest z-scores to find potential buys and funds that may be getting a bit pricey as sell candidates.
