- I promised readers of my book, "The Income Factory: An Investor's Guide to Consistent Lifetime Returns," that I would periodically review and update the model portfolios here on Seeking Alpha.
- Obviously a lot has happened (COVID, the energy crash and recovery, etc.) since the McGraw-Hill publishing date in early 2020.
- I created the five model portfolios more than two years ago, at least eight months before the publication date, so it's encouraging to see how well they've held up.
- Despite the MLP sector dragging some of them down, the models achieved annualized returns ranging from 7.2% to 10.3%.
- This demonstrates the value of choosing experienced funds and fund management companies whose performance has stood the test of time.
