Hi Itsallaguess.
Can you point me towards any previous list of your IT portfolio if one exists?
Hi TP2,
I don't tend to post too many portfolio threads to be honest, but here's a quick list of my Investment Trust holdings as my income-portfolio stands today -
They're not all equally weighted, and a couple of the UK Equity Income holdings are relatively small compared to the general weightings of the others. Overall the above list accounts for nearly 60% of my invested capital, and as dividends roll in and fresh capital is added from my working wage, along with my yearly rotation of some of my single-share holdings from my non-sheltered account over to my ISA accounts, I expect that level to generally rise quite steadily over the coming years.
I should add that FCIT (Foreign and Colonial) is the clear outlier in there, as it's not really held for income-purposes (it has something like a 1.4% yield..), and it plays a specific role in my '
hopefully better than a Cash ISA' holdings, which include a few other odds and sods, such as a slug of Vanguard LifeStrategy 80/20 and a few other single-share 'growthy-holdings' that I like to have on the boil as a bit of a side-hustle..
I'm sure that I could do better, but I know that I could do a lot worse as well, and whilst I'd clearly point out that none of the above are a recommendation at all, I've got to say that I'm very content with the strategy that I'm pursuing, which is simple, steady, and repeatable, and which brings me no bother at all as things just tick along, letting time itself do the majority of the heavy lifting for me...
Cheers,
Itsallaguess
