Higher interest rates (since 2022) have created attractive income opportunities through investments like bonds and dividend-paying stocks.
While the opportunity to capture these yields at levels not seen in the past decade still exists today, time is not on your side as the US Federal Reserve has signalled its intent to bring rates back down.
In other words, attractive income investing opportunities might not last for much longer. (Find out more here) This has already been seen with T-bills, which are now yielding lower returns and becoming less attractive for growing your money.
With the world having to navigate geopolitical complexity and economic uncertainty, income investing offers investors with relatively stable total returns.
High quality bonds offer the predictability of regular returns while acting as a hedge should economic growth slow more than expected. Likewise, dividend paying equities often carry a commitment to stable payouts over the long-term.
Whether you're aiming for early retirement or simply want a steady stream of income, explore funds that provide regular payouts by investing in income generating bonds and stocks.
This fixed-income portfolio invests in bonds from issuers primarily operating in the dynamic economies of the Asian Tigers.
