Income

The Income component of Portfolio Construction helps give you the confidence to keep your portfolio on track, because it provides a steady stream of cash while you are invested.

Traditionally, income has come predominantly through fixed income investments like bonds and cash instruments, and was favored primarily by conservative investors like retirees who needed to draw down their assets.

Today, income can come from stocks as well as bonds, international as well as U.S. investments, traditional as well as alternative investment strategies. And investors of any age, life-stage or goal may benefit from additional investment income.

Income as part of Portfolio Construction:

• Provides a reliable stream of payments for you to use or reinvest to enhance total return
• Helps you withstand market volatility over the long term by providing immediate returns in the short term
• May help balance your portfolio by offering exposure to more stable and conservative areas of the financial markets
