Income Bearing Investments

What are Income Bearing Investments?

In the past many people have funded their retirement by investing their savings in term deposits and similar fixed rate investments, and living off the interest. This can be successful, although your income is at the mercy of interest rate changes.

Other people follow a similar principle by deriving an income to meet their living expenses from share dividends or rent from investment property. Shares and property offer investors the advantage of potentially achieving longer term capital growth, providing a buffer against inflation. However, some investors are uncomfortable with the perceived risks associated with these types of investments.
