The Perpetual Income Portfolio—An Example
I manage the Perpetual Income Portfolio for the Oxford Club’s Ultimate Income Letter. Normally, we have approximately 20 stocks in the portfolio, diversified across a wide range of industries.
I’m not going to mention what the stocks are because by the time you read this, the portfolio may very well have changed. For more information on the portfolio, please visit www.oxfordclub.com.

| Services: | 2 |
| Technology: | 1 |
| Telecom: | 1 |

I would rather own a stock paying a 4% yield that grows its dividend every year by 10% than one with a 6% yield and a dividend growth of 3%.
If I’m holding these stocks ...
