Investing for income
Why income is important?
For many people at, or approaching retirement, it’s becoming harder than ever to produce the income they require from savings.
Find out why generating income from investments is becoming more important
Understanding the different income investment options
Interest from savings accounts has traditionally been the main source of income for many people. Gilts (government bonds) have also often been used for income. But with interest rates and Gilt yields at record lows, savers are increasingly seeking out other income options including equities (shares), corporate bonds and property.

Maximising income from investments
There are certain factors to consider when investing for income such as the choice of product in which to hold your investment, your attitude to risk and frequency of income needed.
Find out how to maximise your income
Unlike bank and building society accounts, the value of investments and the level of any income derived from them is not guaranteed and can go down as well as up. Our investments should therefore be viewed as long-term solutions.
Suitability
You should, of course, only consider investments that are right for you. If you are in any doubt about the suitability of an investment, please speak to an independent financial adviser – find an IFA at unbiased.co.uk
