By focusing on businesses that have shown consistent financial performance and growing dividends, we seek to beat the market with a mix of income and steadily rising share prices.

Ice investing can generate large, short-term gains on occasion, but we’re primarily seeking steady gains over time, and shallower declines during wider stock market falls. These…

Image source: Getty Images An investment trust is a type of pooled investment. The trust typically has a portfolio of investments (such as shares, although many different types of trust exist). Its own shares are traded on the stock market. So, someone could invest in an investment trust simply by buying its shares (or even a single share) on the market. Such an approach can be very lucrative but it does not always go well. It depends, as with any share, on specifically what the investor buys and how much they pay for it. Here, though, are a handful of…
Image source: Getty Images I’m a fan of large-cap value/income/dividend investing. I’m also an active investor, so I mostly choose which stocks and shares to buy (often from the FTSE 100). Hence, I follow in the footsteps of old-school investors such as Warren Buffett and his mentor, Benjamin Graham. However, I realise that there can be issues to watch out for with this value-based approach to investing capital. For instance, these three affect my family portfolio today: 1.

Image source: Getty Images My search for dividend shares brings me to Robert Walters (LSE: RWA) with its huge 12.5% forecast yield. The company is having a tough time, with the economy of the past few years taking a toll on its specialist top-end recruitment services. Operating profit fell 80% in 2024 to £5.2m, with an earnings per share (EPS) loss of 9.1p. The share price has crashed 79% since a peak in early 2022. But the company maintained its 2024 dividend at 23.5p per share “in view of balance sheet strength“. Net cash of £52.5m is enough to cover…
Image source: Getty Images. Most FTSE 100 stocks aren’t exactly known for being at the forefront of the artificial intelligence (AI) boom. However, this revolutionary technology has the potential to eventually make nearly all companies more profitable. For example, a report in The Guardian today (30 June) cited figures showing that generative AI chatbots like ChatGPT might be starting to impact the jobs market. According to job search site Adzuna, vacancies for various jobs — spanning graduate-level, apprenticeships, internships, and entry-level roles that require no degree — have fallen 32% since the launch of ChatGPT in November 2022. Meanwhile, nearly…

Image source: Getty Images The prospect of earning some extra money on the side does not to have involve taking on another job. In fact, some people generate a second income while they sleep thanks to owning shares that pay them dividends. As a passive income idea, I like that for its genuinely low amount of effort. I also appreciate that it can be tailored to each person’s individual financial circumstances. For example, if someone had a spare £500 and wanted to set up a second income in the coming month, here is how they could go about it. Getting…
