CHICAGO, March 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Income Investor Plus, a new alert service, is launching today by Zacks Investment Research. It's designed to be a safety net for those who want to balance their portfolios against the shocks and swings of more aggressive moves. This will be especially important as the market stalls or retracts.

Guided by the firm's Chief Equity Strategist, Dirk van Dijk, Income Plus offers investors a fresh alternative to T-Notes, CDs, and Money Market Accounts. The problem with these fixed income investments, according to van Dijk, is that they have been losing to inflation.

That's why Zacks developed a low-risk service with potential for market-beating growth in addition to a steady flow of income.

It starts by taking advantage of a predicted surge in high dividend stocks. It will apply Zacks Rank fundamentals to filter through these companies and select the few that are likely to continue paying out 3%, 5%, even 10% well into the future.

The "Plus" in Income Plus is that the service adds new low-risk "wrinkles" including Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs), Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs), Covered Calls, and Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs) to the mix.
