Splitting up is hard to do

Article Abstract:

British individual savings accounts (Isas) offer tax advantages, while split capital investment trusts offer high yields, and, together with corporate bnds, offer the best options for investors seeking high yields. The income shares of these trusts give yields that satisfy demanding problems of financial planning, such as the need to pay fees for nursing homes. There are specialist brokers in this sector who can offer useful data, and managed funds are available for investors seeking to focus on mainstream portfolios.

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom investors seeking an income are affected by the reduction on dividend tax credit due to come into force in April 1999. Lower interest rates and bond yields also affect income from investments. Utilities and financials no longer offer yields that are much higher than average, so more balance is needed in portfolios. Convertibles and corporate bonds are another source of income. Split capital investment trusts offer income stocks which can also be considered.
