Where else does one look for income?
Bond Funds? • Very popular in Q3 and 4 2012 but has the ‘great
rotation’ started? Is the sector ‘overbought’?• Yields can be unpredictable and are presently low.• Higher yield bond funds possibly a better bet with
risk environment improving.
Equity Income Funds?• Yields and/or distributions still in the 3 to 5% range• Capital is not protected – market cap can rise and
fall.
Property?• Liquidity a concern, speculative developments?• Physical property can deliver good returns but is not
without risks – cyclical/tenants/maintenance/legal risk
What Gilliat were asked for in 2009:-
• A known level of predictable income• A covenant from a reputable financial institution• A very transparent level of market risk with a robust
capital protection feature • Daily liquidity in the event of clients requiring exit• Constantly available solution
