Although I don't implement the hybrid income/growth approach, I'm not against it. I recently watched a video where someone showed the backtest of returns for growth, hybrid, and income approaches. Growth did best, then hybrid, then income. But I still like the Income Factory approach to investing. The good thing about the hybrid approach is that you can still turn off drip, or turn off funnelling distributions into growth assets if you want to use it. However, I'm not sure HHIS is the income engine to use. I also feel it's overweight in my own portfolio.
