About the fund

The monthly income fund aims to pay roughly the same amount of income each month so that you can budget with confidence. The fund targets an above-market income that is sustainable and consistent, as well as some capital growth, over the long term. We think of delivering a sustainable income as a bit like a jigsaw puzzle - all the pieces have to be in place for the picture to come together. Assets will yield differently at different times, so we will strategically combine diverse sources of income to target a high and resilient yield, year-in, year-out. The fund currently has £57.8 million assets under management and the current yield is 5.71%.
