The funds mentioned in this article seem too good to be true to me. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michaelfoster/2017/05/02/3-funds-for-9-dividends-and-capital-gains-upside/#685f85487fb4
Can somebody please explain how they manage to pay such high dividend yields? Here's why I ask and also a bit about my personal situation. I'm interested in possibly moving to Thailand, which would enable me to work on my startup and also write some e-books. I've got 225k cash and am wondering if investing in one of these funds can sustain me by covering my meager expenses (about 1.3k per month) with dividend income. While I plan to eventually up my income significantly through business revenues, my startup and associated ventures won't be generating enough to cover my living expenses for some time. Investing in one of these funds seems like a great idea to help cover my living expenses, but I just don't know the true story after all of the fund expenses and details. Seems like it can't be possibly true that the yields are actually what they're advertised as, or maybe I just have a distrust of the finance industry... Please help me understand the real story here.
