$TLT $NMCO $SCHP $DLY $BGT Why bonds? Diversification Cushion: Historically, bonds have maintained a negative or low correlation to stocks, meaning they often gain value when stocks plummet, providing crucial portfolio protection. Yield Cushion: As of late 2025, bonds are better positioned to handle sell-offs compared to 2022 because higher starting yields (e.g., 3.8% in Q4 2024 vs. 1.5% in Q1 2022) provide income that can buffer against price declines. Scenario-Dependent Performance: If a 40% stock market drop is driven by recession fears (causing interest rates to fall), bond prices will likely rise. If it is caused by a massive spike in inflation and rates (a "stagflation" scenario), bond funds could experience temporary price declines. Overall, while the 60/40 portfolio (60% stocks, 40% bonds) has experienced drawdowns, it generally sees significantly shallower losses than a 100% stock portfolio. Eventually I see my account 50% commodities and 50% bond funds.

$DLY $TLT $KORP $SCHP $NMCO The top 6 funds on the list are already in my portfolio. I have 5 more that I will add. The last fund is more of place to hold cash while I’m possibly waiting to deploy funds into a ticker/tickers. SHV is like a money market or high yield savings account. Yields around 4% So technically, these 10 funds will be my bond portfolio that will make up 25% of my portfolio by the end of Q1 2026. 10 funds x 2.5% positions. You’ll notice that I’m covering all types of bonds. Short term treasuries. Mid duration and long duration government debt. Mid to long term corporate debt. Leverage corporate debt and non levered. Different quality grades. Investment grade and some below investment grade Muni’s with leverage and different qualities. Yields should average around 6% It’s all about capital preservation while generating monthly/quarterly dividends.

$MMIN $NUV The primary difference between the Nuveen Municipal Credit Opportunities Fund (MMIN, also referred to as NMCO for its closed-end fund ticker) and the Nuveen Municipal Value Fund (NUV) is their credit quality focus and use of leverage. NUV prioritizes high-quality, investment-grade municipal bonds with low leverage, aiming for capital preservation and stable income, while MMIN focuses on higher-yielding, lower- to medium-quality municipal securities and uses more leverage to enhance total return and yield I own $NMCO for the higher yield. I’m going to pick NUV for my next Muni fund, for higher quality and less leverage.

$DLY $BGT $NMCO $XOP $XLE Leveraged funds versus non leveraged. DLY, BGT and NMCO are closed end funds own. All three are leveraged. When a market downturn occurs, the pricing pressure will affect them the most. First they would more than likely need to shed the leverage. While DLY is running 14+% leverage, BGT is basically flat with .15% leverage. Now NMCO is running 42% leverage. That could be an issue. XOP and XLE are both non-leveraged ETF’s. While I hold several individual energy tickers, like CTRA, EGY, ET, PBR-A, REI, RNGR and TTE, I’ve been building my XOP and XLE positions the most. Individual Stock Risk vs. ETF Diversification: Individual stocks, especially in the cyclical energy sector, carry higher idiosyncratic risk, meaning they can experience much deeper, faster declines than a diversified ETF, notes Matt Willer of Phoenix Capital Group. While an individual stock has higher potential for gains, it also has a higher risk of "dying by the sword" during a downturn.

$NMCO $TLT Municipal Bonds Defensive Play: Munis, especially high-quality ones (AAA), are often seen as safe havens during equity downturns, offering tax-exempt income, notes Investopedia, Mezzi AI, Nuveen | Investment Management. Flight to Quality: Investors seek refuge in tax-free income streams, supporting muni prices. Liquidity Risk: In extreme selloffs (like early 2020), even munis faced pressure as investors needed cash, leading to temporary discounts. Credit Quality Matters: High-yield (junk) munis behave more like risk assets and can fall with stocks. TLT (iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF) Flight to Quality: TLT's main role is to rally as stocks crash, as investors buy safe U.S. Treasuries, causing prices to rise and yields to fall (inverse relationship). As I continue to reposition my portfolio in H1 2026, I will continue accumulating some Muni’s & adding to my TLT position. Keep in mind. When the market does take a downturn. Nothing is really safe in the short term.

$DLY $DBL $NMCO $PHK $MYD There’s over 300 fixed income closed end funds to look through. Most CEF use leverage. Just an FYI. Some more than others. Most ETF’s are not leveraged, but have lower yields. I will be investing in multiple bond funds. Some will be levered CEF’s and some will be non levered ETF’s I have a solid list of individual bonds that yield 4-6%, but they only payout 2 times annually. So, I’m going to accumulate bond funds that pay monthly. I just turned 50 and by the time I’m 55, I want to be able to financially retire. While I want ever actually retire, I want monthly distributions in place that could allow me too. I’m going to continue compounding unit/share count. https://www.cefconnect.com/closed-end-funds-daily-pricing

$IGIB Here’s an example of an investment grade corporate debt bond fund. For two straight years we’ve seen steady buy volume. It pays a monthly dividend, which currently yields 4.58% Loan duration 5-10 years. I’m personally building and accumulating a mix of corporate debt, municipals and federal government bonds. Some of my corporate debt funds are higher risk than others. Those offer yields in the 8-12% range. Muni’s around 4-5% that are free of federal income tax and a mix of other bond funds. Funds will be a mix of short duration, mid duration and long duration. TLT is what I’ll be using for longer term debt. Building a 20-25% portfolio weight. 2-3% weights x 8-10 funds. Miners and energy will make up the rest of my portfolio for the most part. $DLY $BGT $NMCO $PGP

$DLY $BGT $VCIT $NMCO $NUV Fixed income could outperform the broader market over the next decade due to significantly higher starting yields (offering rich income streams), potential central bank rate cuts boosting bond prices, strong demand from income-seeking investors, and their classic role in diversifying equity risk, especially if economic growth slows or inflation moderates, creating a favorable backdrop for bonds to provide capital preservation and income alongside potential capital appreciation from falling rates. Elevated Yields: After years of low rates, current yields on many bonds (like Treasuries and Munis) are the most attractive in a generation, providing a strong income foundation. Diversification & Stability: Bonds provide crucial portfolio diversification, capital preservation, and liquidity, especially during equity market volatility. There’s many reasons I’m restructuring my Portfolio, but capital preservation is probably the #1 reason.

$NMCO Positioning reflects caution while awaiting confirmable progress; organic growth must prove sustainable without incentives — clear evidence of repeatability would change the narrative. From here, results — not promises — will decide direction.

$NMCO I just initiated my starter position in NMCO. I will continue scaling into bond funds and credit. Some will be riskier than others. I’m looking to build 20-25% of my portfolio in fixed income vehicles. Dividends and distributions being paid to me monthly/quarterly. Looking to build share/unit counts in the coming years.
