A financial analyst by day and an experienced investor by passion, I have been involved in the investment world for more than 15 years and honed my skills to analyze profitable opportunities in the market. I use myself as an example that with a solid classic dividend growth stock base, sprinkling in some Business Development Companies, REITs, and Closed End Funds can be a very efficient way to boost your investment income while still achieving a total return that follows a traditional index fund. I created a hybrid system between growth and income and managed to still obtain a total return that is on par with the S&P.
