The importance of income – where to find it?

Life used to be simpler. If you had a bit of spare cash or you wanted to save up for something you’d just stick some money in a bank or building society account. If you had a nest egg and wanted to invest it in something safe and live off the income, you’d maybe buy a gilt (UK government debt) or a corporate bond (debt issued by companies). If you were on the point of retiring you’d be forced, eventually, to buy an annuity. Now, although all those options are still open to you, they don’t all look that attractive. In this document we try to look at some of the ways you can use the investment companies market to find income producing investments and we talk through some of the available funds.
