As editor of Global-Investing, the 2nd best performing US Newsletter over the past decade as rated by Hulbert Financial Digest, she offers a high-yielding international portfolio with a target yield of 5%.  She has lived abroad and has a team of international reporters researching prospects for her.

Her investment model will aim to provide a relatively safe portfolio producing a good yield (target 5%) invested in closed-end funds, stocks, and preferred shares from outside the United States.

She uses standard Internet and news sources for ideas which she then researches. She relies upon a team of reporters, who all write for her newsletter, in Latin America, Europe, Japan, India, and China. She questions managers she knows personally, not about their own funds, but about others they know about. She does not do screening of large numbers of potential positions which is too mechanical...

She uses standard Internet and news sources for ideas which she then researches. She relies upon a team of reporters, who all write for her newsletter, in Latin America, Europe, Japan, India, and China. She questions managers she knows personally, not about their own funds, but about others they know about. She does not do screening of large numbers of potential positions which is too mechanical for her tastes.

She aims to have 10 equal positions to start with, providing a diversified yield portfolio including common and preferred stocks, closed-end or exchange-traded funds invested in straight or convertible bonds, REITs,  or other yield instruments, all predominantly non-US.

If there is a change in the riskiness of the position, if there is a cut in the payout or a forecast of a cut, she would sell.

None.
