BlackRock Financial Management, Inc. will manage
the portfolio under guidelines established by the New York Fed designed to minimize disruption to financial markets and maximize recovery value.
• Trimmed JNJ and PEP each back to 9 % of the
portfolio to get them
under the 10 % - max
guideline • With the proceeds, added to existing positions in AT&T (T) and Microsoft (MSFT) • With the remaining proceeds, started a new position in Digital Realty Trust (DLR) Thus, this package of trades served several strategic goals at the same time: • It corrected the over-sized positions by getting them back
under 10 % of the
portfolio • It allowed me to increase my stakes in two high - quality dividend growth companies • It allowed me to add a new position, bringing me closer to my target of 20 - 25 stocks overall.
