Comment: PSP probably will not equal its 2012 performance, but the ETF has been solid in 2013. Not every investor can gain access to a private equity firm, but PSP and rival funds help simulate that endeavor. More importantly, PSP is one of the more unique and highest sources of yield investors can find among equity-based ETFs. The ETF has a trailing 12-month yield of 9.8%.
