Retirement income: Is it time to revisit the 4% rule?
What percentage of an investment portfolio can retirees withdraw without outliving their money? We look at Bengen’s 4% rule and its relevance for global equity investors.
Global equities: Thinking outside the Magnificent Seven
The Magnificent Seven – the supercharged stocks named after the classic Western movie – delivered outstanding returns in 2023. Stephen Anness discusses how his top seven holdings combined to match them.
Global equities stock spotlight: 3i – home of one of Europe’s gems
We believe that we are most likely to deliver consistent performance by focusing on quality, cashflow and price. To illustrate this, we turn the spotlight on multinational private equity firm 3i.
The investment objective of the Invesco Global Equity Income Trust plc is to provide an attractive and growing level of income return and capital appreciation over the long term, predominantly through investment in a diversified portfolio of equities worldwide.
With an active approach to stock selection, the process is carefully designed to seek to stack the odds of success in the portfolio’s favour, with risk management considered throughout. The process is focused on IDEAS: Identify potential ideas; Determine the most promising; Evaluate the opportunity; Approve the idea; Structure the portfolio.
The portfolio is made up of three categories. First, dividend compounders. A minimum of 70% of the fund will be in companies that have a strong track record of paying and growing dividends. Second, up to 20% in low yielding, but faster growth stocks. These are companies with excellent capital allocation*, resulting in compelling returns on invested capital or a progressive buy back policy**. Finally, up to 10% of the portfolio will be invested in Dividend Restoration ideas - businesses that are undergoing a temporary challenge or turnaround, but where we see a clear route to dividend restoration.
*Capital allocation: distributing and investing a company's financial resources in ways that will increase its efficiency and maximize its profits.
**Buy back: when a company buys back its shares and is a way for the company to reinvest in itself.
