As its name implies, The 25% Cash Machine has a goal of generating 25% annual returns. And the latest recommendation selected by editor Bryan Perry to reach that annual high return goals is a newly launched fund, the Alpine Total Dynamic Dividend Fund (NYSE: AOD).

The fund came public in last January and Perry notes, was the sixth-largest IPO in NYSE history. He explains, "This fund combines four research-driven investment strategies : growth, value, special dividends and dividend-capture rotation."

According to Perry, "After three months of seasoning -- and after being fully invested -- the fund declared an 18-cent monthly dividend to shareholders. That's a $2.16 annual cash dividend per share, which at current prices of $20.90, generates a dividend yield of 10.32%. That's right up our alley."

The fund takes a global focus. Perry notes, "Alpine scans the globe looking for the best dividend opportunities for investors, employing a multi-cap, multi-sector and multi-style investment approach."

To maximize return, he explains, it "seeks to capture more dividends with the same investment capital by 'rotating' between securities with similar characteristics throughout the same 12-month period."

With this approach, he notes, the fund is able to capture up to eight dividends with that same invested dollar within the course of a year. He says, "Now that's making your money work hard for you."

With an overall bullish outlook on the stock market for the balance of 2007, Perry believes that Alpine Total Dynamic can return a projected total return of 25% during the next 12 months.

He states, "Ideally, you want to put this fund in a retirement account. Current at $21, we are getting a 10.43% yield on our money and getting paid monthly as well. What is not to love about this arrangement?"
