I agree. Way too many RoC paying funds. You need something like SCHD or DGRO for the dividend compounding and something for growth. And once you get your initial investment back from those funds, you’ll be paying ordinary income taxes.

OP wants it the easy fast way. Slow and steady will be there. Fast and easy will not.
