What is the Fly High 50 - Model Portfolio about?
The Fly High 50 - Model Portfolio shows how we put our income-investing approach into practice: seek high-yield dividends supported by company earnings, then use that income or reinvest it to compound over time. We follow changes in earning power and dividend coverage across the portfolio. Members use the model as a research guide and remain in control of their own investments.

Your company research
1 Introduction Public
Get oriented: what the company does, how its business earns income and where to look next. Begin here before interpreting a high yield.
2 Core Data Public
Read the latest reported company-specific earnings, declared dividend and payment frequency. Check the period and source date. These reported facts are distinct from the four-quarter earnings estimate used in Fly High’s dividend-coverage analysis.
3 Charts & Analysis Plus and Pro
Look beyond a single observation. Explore the available company history and deeper details, then follow the underlying reports and news. Available measures differ by company type and source coverage.
4 Reports and context Plus and Pro
Use Annual & Quarterly Reports and company news to investigate changes in earning power. Fly High uses the earnings measure the company identifies as the source of its dividend. Measures such as NII and AFFO are not interchangeable.
Earnings Fixes Everything
Earnings are the economic source of dividends and the main signal Fly High follows. Start with the earnings measure the company uses to explain its dividend. Check the reporting periods, then see how estimated earnings compare with the dividends included in the calculation.
How does Fly High estimate dividend support?
Fly High combines the two most recently reported quarters with independent analyst estimates for the next two quarters. The Dividend Coverage Ratio divides that four-quarter earnings estimate by the annualized dividends included in the calculation. It measures estimated support, not a guarantee.
04 / Follow the Fly High 50 Pro
Follow the Fly High 50 and the thinking behind it.
The model puts Fly High’s earnings-first income approach into practice. Pro brings the holdings, weekly commentary and historical record together, so you can follow both the income and the earnings supporting it.
The portfolio

Explore Pro accessThe weekly explanation
Weekend Updates explain important portfolio developments and what changes in earning power may mean for dividend support.
Explore Pro accessThe longer record
Use the performance, earnings and dividend histories to see how the model has developed over time. Fly High tests its estimating method across the portfolio as a whole. It does not claim to predict one company’s earnings forever.
Explore Pro accessWhat does Pro add to Plus?
Plus provides deeper company research, historical charts, reports, Advanced Insights and member tools. Pro adds the Fly High 50 roster, model portfolio updates and histories. The live model and protected articles stay on their member pages.

Does a calculator change my holdings?
Using a scenario tool does not place a brokerage trade. My Income Hangar is your saved portfolio workspace. Flight Checks do not load it until you choose to use your saved information.
Plus and Pro
Give the companies you follow a home.
My Income Hangar keeps your saved companies and portfolio information together, ready when you want to use them in Flight Checks or Income Radar.

Start with a Flight Check.
Flight Checks brings the calculators together around four useful income questions. Plus and Pro can connect their saved companies and use the full Flight Deck.
Try Flight ChecksWhat should I pay attention to?
Notice the assumptions behind each result. Try a lower income level, a larger cash need or a different allocation where the tool allows it. These scenarios support your research. They do not predict future results.
