How to meet investors’ income needs

In our view advisors should consider:

Seeking new sources of income, alternatives to deposits

Global diversification, hedge currency risk

Active asset allocation – global multi-asset portfolios actively managed to find the best income investments

Increased diversification and less risk than UK equity income alone

Stock example – Global Equity: AES Tietê

Brazilian electricity generation company with one long-term contract to sell all of its firm capacity to Eletropaulo until 2015capacity to Eletropaulo until 2015

Stable margin profile – prices for contract with Eletropaulo adjusted for inflation every July. After 2015, AES Tietê will sell its energy at the spot rate

No major off-balance sheet contingencies or risks. Therefore, results are very predictable and the company delivers one of the highest dividend yields of all global utilities

Committed to 100% payout of net income
