HL High Income
An investment aiming to provide a high monthly income
Important - The value of this fund and the income from it can still fall, so you could get back less than you invested, especially over the short term. If you are unsure of the suitability of any investment for your circumstances please contact us for advice. Tax rules can change and benefits depend on individual circumstances.
To build a portfolio which generates a high and sustainable monthly income is no easy task. With this fund we aim to do the hard work on your behalf.David Smith and Tom Wells, Fund Managers
Why invest?
This fund aims to provide a sustainable monthly income - with the potential for future income growth - by investing in global equities and bonds. It’s designed for investors who want to leave the asset allocation and manager selection to experts. It could be a core holding or used to diversify an income-focused portfolio.
At least 60% of your money will be invested in global bonds which provide interest income and reduce risk. The rest of your money is typically invested in global equities for their dividend income and the opportunity for future income growth.
Overall, the fund is a low to moderate-risk option. As with most investments, you should plan to hold it for at least five years. If you're unsure whether investing is right for you, find out whether you should save or invest.
You’ll get a mix of:
- Investment grade and higher-risk high yield corporate bonds, as well as government bonds, from around the world.
- Shares of companies both in and outside the UK that have a history of paying consistent, generous dividends (not a guide to future income).
