Fidelity Moneybuilder Income ISA

Why we like it: A fund with a conservative approach to bond investing. The focus is on quality companies that are in good financial health and generate enough cash to keep paying bondholders. Aims to provide a relatively steady income and a small amount of growth, without taking excessive risks. It could help diversify a portfolio focused on shares, or be used as a way to limit volatility during tougher times for stock and bond markets.

Why we like it: If you are looking for a high income yield this fund is suitable for long term investors drawing regular income from their portfolios. With a focus on high yield bonds and shares, the fund manager is an experienced bond investor who has a flexible approach to seeking out the best income opportunities.

Why we like it: JP Morgan Asset management is one of the worlds largest and best known brands in investment management. The aim of this fund is to achieve high and rising income by investing globally primarily in equities in any economic sector whilst participating in long term capital growth.

Why we like it: The Hargreaves Multi Manager High Income fund aims to deliver a high monthly income to clients by blending different types of funds and moving between different areas of the market when more attractive opportunities emerge. HL also aim to grow this income payment over time and therefore may invest in higher risk smaller companies they believe offer great potential for long term capital growth.

Why we like it: Getting paid a regular income is a priority for many investors. Whether you’re in retirement, or want to boost your existing income, an equity income fund could be right for you. Even if you do not need income now, you can opt to reinvest it to boost capital growth. An emphasis on dividends and dividend growth makes this fund a more traditional UK equity income fund, in our view, so it could help form the foundation of an income portfolio.

Why we like it: If you are looking to access Asia’s exciting growth potential along with a regular income this fund may be for you. Focuses on larger, dividend-paying companies in developed Asian markets, including Hong Kong, Singapore and Australia. Invests in a small number of companies so each can contribute a lot to performance, which can increase risk. The fund aims to pay an attractive income and grow your investment. A focus on companies that tend to be more stable could help the fund fall to a lesser extent than some others when markets are weak. Jupiter has grown to be one of the UK’s most successful and respected investment management groups.
