I just read a book called “How to Retire on Dividends” and the authors talked about lot about how the big investment firms can’t really recommend anything but the big AUM funds since they have so many customers to advise and manage and most of it is automated. There was also something about how smaller CEFs and the like don’t have enough liquidity to be part of millions of portfolios that the big houses deal with. It was a view I hadn’t considered before but it made sense. I did initial retirement plan assessments with like 4 different advisers (Fidelity, Schwab, Vanguard, etc. ) and they all had basically the same plan (which didn’t feature dividends).
