Image source: Getty Images Income stocks have become my comfort blanket in recent years. And right now, they’re warming up nicely. While the US tech sector has done most of the running over the past decade, traditional FTSE 100 income stocks are finding a new audience. Rising interest rates reminded investors that dividends matter. And with markets more jittery than ever, I’ve rediscovered the joys of solid shareholder payouts. Here are three big takeaways from my own investing experience. 1. Double-digit yields aren’t always dangerous I’ve loaded up on UK financials such as Phoenix Group Holdings, Legal & General Group and M&G. Each has offered yields…
Details of the government’s intentions for funding infrastructure projects were contained in its new 10-year infrastructure strategy published on Thursday. While the government has pledged at least £725 billion of capital investment for economic, social, and housing infrastructure over the next decade, it said “transforming the UK’s infrastructure will require significant increases in private investment to complement and maximise the value of the extensive public investment underway”. The government’s drive to increase the supply of private capital is multi-faceted: it is seeking institutional investment in infrastructure, such as from pension providers and investment funds; looking to remove regulatory barriers…
Image source: Getty Images The FTSE 250 has a fair few names that would be immediately familiar to many in the UK. Some that do well go on to the big league, namely the FTSE 100. Noteworthy examples include JD Sports Fashion and Auto Trader. However, some household names continue to languish in the FTSE 250. Here, I’ll look at two of them to see if either appeal to me. Shaken, and stirred First up, we have luxury carmaker Aston Martin (LSE: AML). I was re-watching Goldfinger (1964) yesterday, which is where James Bond first drives the Aston Martin DB5.…
Image source: Getty Images Taylor Wimpey (LSE: TW) shares are the biggest surprise in my portfolio. Unfortunately, they’re an unpleasant surprise. I snapped them up in 2023, when they looked dirt cheap, trading at just six or seven times earnings and yielding almost 7%. Pretty quickly, I was sitting on a 40% gain and slapping myself on the back. Turned out I’d punched myself in the face. The share price is down 18% over the last 12 months. Most of the damage came in the second half of 2024, when it became clear that interest rate cuts weren’t arriving as quickly…
SINGAPORE – The authorities are urging companies to prioritise all possible ways to reduce their emissions before turning to carbon credits to offset their remaining carbon emissions.This is one of the key recommendations that the Government has sent to Singapore companies that are thinking of using carbon credits voluntarily to decarbonise and meet their respective net-zero targets.The eight-page draft guide – prepared by the National Climate Change Secretariat, the Ministry of Trade and Industry and Enterprise Singapore – was made available online on June 20. Public feedback on the guide is welcomed until July 20.One carbon credit represents one tonne…
Markets aren’t oblivious to geopolitical risks, but need more to change course. Data shows that Dutch pension funds are adding interest hedges as they prepare for the reforms. Only after transitioning do we anticipate a significant unwind in longer-dated hedges. Geopolitical risks pop up everywhere, but don’t change the broader market view The Bank of England kept rates on hold yesterday, with a voting split of six for a hold and three for a 25bp cut – a mildly dovish surprise. But as with the outcome for the Federal Reserve, the market impact from the decision was limited, with central…
