Investing to meet your clients’ income needs

Investing with a focus on income

The portfolios do not have a specific yield target, and this is by design. Yield is a function of price and as such will move around as the value of the holdings in the portfolios change.

Instead, we focus on the income generated from each holding in the portfolio. This is a more reliable measure when planning the income the portfolios are likely to generate for your clients.

Providing a clear forecast

At the start of each financial year, we provide a forecast of the income in pence per share that the portfolios are likely to generate over the coming year. Providing this forecast offers you a better indication of what your clients are likely to receive based on the number of shares they hold.
