Tuning the income engine

Article Abstract:

United Kingdom investors seeking an income should consider their tax position, willingness to accept risk, and income needs. The best potential tends to be offered by vehicles based on equities. Investments using deposits tend not to provide capital appreciation and income. Investment and unit trusts can be used in personal equity plans (Peps), and existing Peps will be operational from 1999, despite the introduction of Isas from that date. Guaranteed income bonds are available, and they can provide life cover.
