our unique perspective on income investing:
differentiate quality within higher yielding opportunities
Global markets have remained volatile amid uncertain monetary policy outlook, stubbornly high inflation, and ongoing geopolitical tensions.
To help navigate risks, many investors have turned their attention to investments that can potentially generate consistent income and total returns.
Income investing may seem like a straightforward enough concept.
However, some may not realise that investing for income is not simply about “chasing yield” — in part because the highest-yielding assets may not always be the most attractive due to potential liquidity risks.
Robust, yet flexible and multi-faceted solutions could allow investors to capture overlooked pockets of income and return opportunities, even under volatile market conditions.
