The 2022 bear market rages on, with the 3rd worst start to the year for stocks in history.

Growth stocks are getting wrecked but low volatility, high-yield blue-chips offer a shelter in the storm.

These nine high-yield blue-chips create a perfectly balanced and diversified portfolio that’s up 3% this year, outperforming the Nasdaq by 25%.

They offer aristocrat-level safety and quality, are 14% undervalued, yield a very safe 4.5%, and analysts expect market-beating returns for decades to come (they’ve beaten the market by 4% annually for the last 25 years).

With just low cost ETFs you can turn these high-yield low volatility blue-chips into a Ultra SWAN recession-optimized retirement portfolio that can potentially help the typical retired couple

generate an extra $555K in inflation-adjusted retirement income over 30 years compared to a 60/40 retirement portfolio
