In 2025, one of the worst-performing UK shares has, so far, been Severfield (LSE:SFR). Since the start of the year, the stock’s fallen by almost 40%.

Image source: Getty Images Passive income ideas come in all shapes and sizes. One I like for its simplicity is putting money into shares of proven businesses that I hope can pay me dividends in future. It is an idea I use myself and helps explain why I own shares such as Diageo. But while Diageo has grown its dividend annually for decades, there is no guarantee that it will keep doing so in future.

Time and again throughout its history as a listed company, Tesla‘s (NASDAQ: TSLA) looked pricy on many common valuation metrics. But often it has confounded sceptics.

Needless to say, that’s considerably more than what the roughly £12,000 the UK State Pension currently offers. As such, it’s crucial to build some personal retirement wealth. And that’s a task best suited to long-term investing.…
