Juliet model portfolio - immediate income, higher risk

Who is it for: 
  • Investors looking primarily to maximise their starting income and to maintain the value of their capital who are prepared to take greater risks with their capital to achieve these aims.
  • Investors must be able to afford for their income to fall and to lose some of their capital under a worst case scenario.
  • May be suitable for retired investors with other secure sources of income who are seeking to maximise the income returns from their capital.
  • May also appeal to investors approaching retirement who can opt to reinvest their dividends until required as part of a growth strategy.

Marlborough Global Bond gives it a broad based fixed interest content with an above average yield for its sector. F&C Commercial Property provides property exposure and the benefit of strong rental income.

For its UK equity content, the portfolio includes a solid UK equity income fund – Rathbone Income. Schroder Income Maximiser also holds a conventional UK equity income portfolio with its income given a boost through its options strategy although its growth can be more erratic short term. TB Wise Income can invest in income-paying assets across the widest spectrum, including fixed interest, commercial property, shares and alternatives such as private equity and infrastructure, anywhere in the world. Finally, Artemis Global Income gives the portfolio its international exposure.
