Yield Intelligence
Passive income analysis across US Treasuries, dividend ETFs, REITs, and preferred stocks. Given a target monthly income and investment amount, returns a ranked opportunity table and optimal allocation.
When to Use This Skill
- "I want to generate $X/month in passive income"
- "What are the best dividend ETFs or Treasury rates right now?"
- "Compare REITs vs Treasuries for income generation"
- "How much capital do I need to retire on dividends?"
- "Build me a conservative income portfolio"
Limitations
- Provides portfolio research support, not personalized financial advice.
- Requires live yield, price, tax, and risk data for current recommendations.
- Does not account for every user-specific constraint unless the user provides it, including jurisdiction, tax status, and liquidity needs.

Standalone Workflow (No MCP Required)
Step 1 — Gather Parameters
Ask if not provided:
- Target monthly income (e.g., $500)
- Available capital (e.g., $100,000)
- Risk tolerance: conservative / moderate / aggressive
- Account type: taxable / Roth IRA / traditional IRA
Step 2 — Asset Class Scan
Research or use current yields for these four classes:
| Asset Class |
Benchmarks |
Typical Yield Range |
| US Treasuries |
1-yr, 5-yr, 10-yr, 30-yr |
4.0–5.5% |
| Dividend ETFs |
SCHD, VYM, JEPI, JEPQ |
3.5–10% |
| REITs |
O, MAIN, STAG |
4–12% |
| Preferred Stocks |
PFF, PFFD |
5–7% |
Step 3 — Score and Rank
Score each opportunity: yield × (1 − risk_penalty) × liquidity_factor
| Category |
Risk Penalty |
| US Treasuries |
0.00 |
| Investment-grade dividend ETF |
0.05 |
| REIT / preferred |
0.15 |
| High-yield / speculative |
0.25 |
Step 4 — Build Allocation
Given monthly target T and available capital C:
- Sort opportunities by risk-adjusted score (descending)
- Assign 30–40% to highest-conviction position
- Diversify remaining 60–70% across 3–5 positions
- Verify:
Σ(allocation_i × yield_i × C) ≥ T × 12
Conservative portfolios: cap any single position at 25%.

Best Practices
- ✅ Verify coverage ratios for high-yield REITs before recommending
- ✅ Note duration risk for long-term Treasuries when rates are rising
- ✅ Consider account type tax efficiency (Roth vs. taxable vs. traditional IRA)
- ❌ Don't chase yield without checking dividend sustainability
