@DonkeyInvestor good morning, I’ve read your post, and I think it’s an excellent reflection. The high-dividend ETFs in my portfolio make up only a small portion.

Currently, the largest share of my distribution-focused portfolio is allocated to $FGEQ , which is almost comparable to the $VWRL you mentioned in terms of 10-year performance. The high-dividend portion was included because these ETFs have performed very well as protection during bear markets. Most of them operate in sectors considered "defensive" and generally have lower volatility (lower volatility = lower absolute returns, and I’m fully aware of this).

My portfolio is constantly evolving, and for now, I’m comfortable with my asset allocation. Who knows what the future holds :)
