USA: Why I Just Doubled My Position
Liberty All-Star Equity offers a unique blend of high dividend yield (10%) and substantial tech exposure, including Microsoft, Nvidia, and Amazon. The fund's 2024 performance was strong, with a 20.7% market price return and a 14.1% net asset value gain. Selling at a low 1.16% premium to NAV, the fund has significant re-rating potential if tech continues to perform well in 2025.

USA: Better Alternatives Available (Downgrade)
Liberty All-Star Equity has underperformed compared to a DIY portfolio using the SPY ETF, confirming my 2023 prediction. Some of USA's 'value' managers actually hold high P/E stocks, making the fund vulnerable to market shocks, with an overall portfolio valuation higher than the market. I recommend high-yield alternatives like the QDPL for a 4x dividend yield of the SPY and 85–90% of total returns or the JAAA for equity-like returns with low volatility.

How I Plan To Invest $700,000 To Pay Bills With Dividends Forever
A portfolio of $700,000 is large enough to produce an annual dividend income that matches the national average individual income of $64,000. I prioritize high-yield investments like BDCs, REITs, MLPs, and option ETFs to achieve a substantial income stream, accepting less capital appreciation in exchange for higher income. A diversified portfolio of 15 holdings, including tech-heavy funds and income-focused assets, can replace a job income, providing financial security and flexibility.
