I purchased my shares for $14.40/common unit in July of 2021 and received about $400 in dividends last year. All in all that purchase did what I needed. My net gain including dividends was $2,204.00 or 22.01%. Not bad for a five month ride.

I need to reinvest those funds to keep pace with the level of income I need to maintain. I purchased equal dollar amounts of KKR Real Estate (KREF) and Capital Southwest (CSWC). I will do separate posts on each company. Teekay’s yield was 6.8% while KREF and CSWC both are over 7.5%. That will keep the total yield for my High Yield Portfolio close to 7.5% annually.
