PBA
PEMBINA PIPELINE CORPORATION
stock NYSE

I am retiring at age 70 at the end of this year. Built a portfolio over an adult lifetime to provide income in retirement. Keeping 50% in total market index ETFs and growth funds. Recognize that is heavy equity exposure for my age but that have done so well over the long term I see no reason to change. The other 50% is in a mixed bag of dividend paying stocks, MLPs and closed end funds (DUK,ABBV, JNJ, PBA, ENB, EPD, UTG, UTF, CSQ, BXMX, DLY, LDP, PFF, TOT, RQI, DOC, PLD, STAG, NEA, VZ, FPF, MO). Recently added income annuities representing about 5% of my portfolio. Everyone dumps on annuities but there are some relatively low fee income annuities available right now that pay decently. I view it as buying a small pension and it provides a little balance to a portfolio that is so overweighted toward the stock market for someone my age. Buy annuities from a no fee planner to avoid the large commissions on annuities. Not for everyone but this growth/income mix works for me.
