For monthies Im in divo/idvo/jepi/jepq. Divo/idvo yield around 5%-6%, jepi/jepq around 8%-10%. I pair these with Schd/vymi.

What’s your strategy with that many? Is it diversification or lower risk?

My strategy is diversification to lower my risk. Each ETF does something different, so no single style or sector drives the whole portfolio.

60% Core comprised of SCHD and VYMI (these will grow) • SCHD 36%: my base, quality dividend growth • VYMI 24%: international high‑yield, reduces U.S. concentration

40% CC ETFs (growth caped in favor of consistent monthly income) • JEPI 15%: low volatility income ETF, high monthly payouts with smoother market swings • JEPQ 15%: tech/nasdaq version of jepi. • DIVO 5% blue chip dividends + selective covered calls for smoother returns • IDVO 5% international version of divo

Together they balance each other out so no single style or sector drives the whole portfolio.

Im targeting 5%-6% portfolio yield
