Permanence & Definition: Safe High Yield Capital Creation in Your Portfolio

Traditional Fixed Income investors are faced with a true conundrum today. The investor that I am referring to is one who would ordinarily have their portfolio weighted more toward fixed income, i.e., bonds, CD's, preferred stock, dividend stocks, etc., than equities. Either due to age and a need to preserve capital or an aversion to the risk present in the equity markets, many seek the comfort of asset classes that are not as volatile and provide a known yield like the coupon payable on a treasury bond or bank issued certificate of deposit.
