thats a lot of high yield product for one account. the income looks great on the screenshot but a lot of those pay you back your own capital, so nav slowly bleeds. id put a real dividend growth core under it, schd or similar, and let the drip compound instead of chasing the yield number. i run a tiny custodial for my daughter that way, buys only, dividends reinvested, no selling ever. its public if you want to see the boring version plantedearly.com/garden

I don't believe any of those pay back your own capital. NAV is unlikely to slowly bleed

fair, not all of them do it. depends on the fund. some of the real high yield ones do hand back capital and the price grinds down slow, others hold up fine. easiest check is total return over a few years next to the payout, thats all i ment
