CORE RESEARCH SERVICES
Contrarian Income Report: Managed by Chief Investment Strategist Brett Owens, this flagship service focuses on securing reliable 7% to 10% annual yields. The research primarily tracks under-analyzed asset classes, including preferred shares, real estate investment trusts (REITs), corporate debt, and high-yield common stocks.
CEF Insider: Led by financial analyst Michael Foster, this program specializes entirely in Closed-End Funds (CEFs). The service targets funds trading at significant discounts to their Net Asset Value (NAV), allowing subscribers to buy institutional-grade portfolios at a discount while collecting substantial, often monthly, dividend payouts.
Hidden Yields: A growth-focused income service dedicated to dividend-magnet investing. This strategy identifies mid-cap and large-cap companies that are aggressively hiking their payouts, a historical indicator that predictably pulls the underlying stock price higher over time.
Dividend Growth Stocks for Secure Retirement: A core foundational macro advisory program providing long-term model portfolios engineered to combat high inflation and sequence-of-returns risk for households transitioning into active retirement.
TARGET ASSET CLASSES & CORE STRATEGIES
Closed-End Funds (CEFs): Exploiting structural inefficiencies where retail panics allow investors to purchase diversified fund baskets for 80 to 90 cents on the dollar.
Business Development Companies (BDCs): Evaluating specialized private credit vehicles that provide high-interest corporate loans, delivering pass-through yields that often exceed 10%.
Covered-Call Funds: Utilizing option-income strategies and covered-call exchange-traded funds (ETFs) to generate defensive, volatility-resistant cash streams during flat or down-trending market environments.
Municipal Bonds (Munis): Identifying high-quality tax-exempt municipal credit setups that offer premium tax-equivalent yields for high-earning investors looking for capital shelter.
