Your Guide to Investing for Income

Morningstar UK: Podcasts

Welcome to podcast from Morningstar UK, the leading provider of independent investment research. This week we’re looking at how investors can get the maximum income from their portfolio.

This time last year the Federal Reserve was promising several interest rate hikes through 2016, and the Bank of England looked set to follow. But then the unexpected happened and Britain voted to leave the European Union, sending the pound plunging and the Bank into damage limitation mode.

As a result, the Bank of England base rate was cut to and even lower record level of 0.25%. All hope is not lost however. The FTSE 100 yields an average of around 3.7%, despite rallying 15% in the last year, and the US, Europe and even emerging markets have well-covered dividends and investment grade bonds for the discerning income investor. Let’s kick things off with Emma Wall, Senior Editor for Morningstar .co.uk and Ariel Bezalel, Manager of the Jupiter Strategic Bond Fund as they discuss inflation and what this means for interest rates.
