Is 9 percent too aggressive?
Attempting to create a durable income machine that compounds without me adding until the income reaches my walkaway number for early retirement. The above allocation matrix is what I am currently holding, and would like opinions on just the synthetic yield sleeve portion (CHPY, ULTY, NVII).
Worth nothing, I have held all of these positions for over a year, and rebalance monthly from distribution income. Blended yield appears to be somewhere around 12%-13%. Below is logic behind the choices made.
Dividend‑Growth Core (65%) SCHD, VOO, VYM, SCHY
- Long term compounding and growing
- Stable and time tested
Safety & Stability (10%) SGOV
- Predictable monthly yield
- Zero risk
Income Sleeve (15%) SPYI, JEPI
- Monthly cash flow
- Lower volatility
Synthetic‑Yield Weekly Sleeve (9%) CHPY, ULTY, NVII
- Weekly distributions
- Rebalancing fuel
Cash Buffer (1%) SPAXX
- Distribution landing zone
- Rebalancing staging area
Is 9% too agressive? Too risky? or does this look like engineered income?
