Therefore if you would have a
very high yielding portfolio, and you can actually manage a safe withdrawal rate of 7 %, would be done pretty quickly.
If you use care, you can
build high yield portfolios that support a withdrawal rate in excess of 6 % of the original balance (plus inflation).
We believe the best way to generate consistent, excess returns over time in the fixed income market is through the construction
of higher yielding portfolios to maximize total return within risk parameters, compared to targeted benchmarks.

But I'm not suggesting

The high yield portfolio generated almost 20 % more than the DSR portfolio.
As it was the case with
the high yield portfolio, I must admit the return has been generated by a single company: Helmerich & Payne.
I was quite surprised to see that those four stocks didn't beat
the high yield portfolio over the past five years.
Now we see the real weakness of
a high yield portfolio; it all goes well when the market is up... but it goes horribly wrong when the market goes down.
This is quite a difference compared to
the high yield portfolio.
If I compare
the high yield portfolio to the DSR portfolio over a 12 months period, the DSR portfolio easily win by more than doubling the high yield portfolio return.

Combine
a high yielding portfolio with limited income growth with a fast growing moderate yield portfolio and you can easily push the continuing withdrawal rate above 5 % (plus inflation).
