![]() XHTML Table Tags – How to fulfill the auditors requirement of having table tags in PDF-based documents ![]() The adoption of upcoming standards in different European countries is just a matter of time.

Richard Bössen, Head of our XBRL Development Team, is a member of the working group at EFRAG. See below the testimonials of our clients in this context.ĪMANA strongly supports the suggestion for cooperation between EFRAG and IFRS Foundation by Accountancy Europe.ĪMANA is actively contributing to the most recent and concrete developments in this area. Our SmartNotes clients have been continuously extending the use of SmartNotes to ESG reporting content for many years. Setting the right priorities in the vast field of the ESG topics poses a big challenge. The nomination of an International Sustainability Standards Board at IFRS Foundation is a result of the ESG standardisation need expressed by capital market participants, Switzerland proposed Geneva as a location for the new board and announced the binding implementation of the TCFD for the 2023 financial year. Doing your homework to uncover worthwhile high yield securities is worth the effort.The recommendations of the TCFD (Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures) are on the agenda for corporate reports. The intent of this piece is to encourage investors not to chase securities in a world market jarred by whipsawed action, and to be satisfied with hitting singles in the investment game when at present swinging wildly at high fast balls gets the lion's share of hype. Seasoned investors may take issue with one or more of my investment ideas. Many companies have current high yields for a reason, which may be contrary to the investor's interest. ![]() However, I generally do not place much faith in them to continue their generous payouts. The Standard and Poors' High Yield roster usually displays approximately fifty stocks for yield. One commercial REIT I like for yield is Monmouth Realty Investment Company ( MNRTA) 8.61%. ![]() Investors may want to consider PowerShares Sovereign Debt ETF ( PCY ) 5.91%, PowerShares Financial Preferred Portfolio ETF ( PGF) 6.68%, iShares S&P Global Financial Sector ETF ( IXG) 3.97% and iShares Mortgage REIT ( REM) 9.54%. I admit to a bias for financials in the belief that they will most certainly bounce back and give the investor a nice capital gain in addition to their current higher yield. Plan to held these notes to maturity and do not buy more than three years out.ĮTFs can play a role for the dividend oriented investor. Recently, issues of note for the speculator were the 3/15/09 at 8/09%, the 7/15/09 at 8.12% and the at 10.05%. There are so many, I find that several are regularly priced overcompensating risk. Calamos Global Total Return Fund ( CGO) 8.34% and the Alpine Global Dynamic Dividend Fund ( AGD) 10.59%.įor their speculator, short maturity GMAC Smart Notes are worth exploring. I like Master Limited Partnerships such as Kinder Morgen Energy Partners ( KMP) 6.06%, Enbridge Energy Partners ( EEP) 7.60% and Teppco ( TPP) 7.36%. For starters, here are a few that you can investigate. This article is too brief to give the reader a comprehensive roster of good higher yield investments. I admit to gaming the market myself, but I have learned over thirty-five years to temper my ego and speculative inclinations by going in the direction of reasonably safe higher yield investments with meaningful international exposure that will pay you to wait for a better investment climate, receive excellent cash flow with the likelihood of modest capital gains and avoid paying to see a psychiatrist for depression and anxiety disorders. Alas, investors find that just when the best laid investment plan is implemented, something goes wrong to spoil it. If only these investment gurus would alert investors when it was time to jettison their previously recommended portfolio potpourri and scurry to the next brilliant get rich plan. Sure, money "pros" have eclectic strategies that in most cases are too complex for the average investor to implement (let alone keep track of). My guess is that most trying to do so are losing money. Many investors are trying to game the fickle markets here and abroad.
