Build your monthly income portfolio.
One example portfolio, 8 independent income streams, built to pay every month. See how it is put together, then get the funds and make it your own.
Before taxes, at trailing 12-month distribution rates as of Oct 16, 2026. Not a forecast. A distribution rate is not a total return.

Questions
Is this a recommendation for me?
No. It is one example portfolio, the same for everyone who sees it, built to show how the SnowX Income™ ideas fit together. It does not know your goals, taxes or timeline. Use it as a starting point for your own research.
Why does a high payout not mean a high return?
A distribution rate tells you what a fund paid out. Total return tells you what you actually earned after any change in share price. A fund can pay 15% and still lose value. The full sample shows both numbers side by side for every fund.
How often does the sample change?
Rates are refreshed as the funds pay. Which funds belong in a portfolio like this changes too: funds launch, get better, or stop passing the criteria. Members of SnowX Approved Funds get those changes every month for $9.
Hypothetical example for education only. This sample is the same for every reader and is not a recommendation to buy or sell any security or a suggestion that it suits you. Distribution rates are trailing 12-month figures and change every month. A distribution rate is not a total return: part of a payout can be return of capital, and a fund can lose value while it pays. Distributions are not guaranteed. Option-income funds can underperform their index in strong markets and can cut or stop their payouts. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
