Is it smart to invest in an income fund?
Whether an income fund is a suitable investment will depend on your individual investment goals, risk tolerance, and financial circumstances. What works for one investor may not work for another. Before pursuing any type of investment, individuals should review the disclosure documents and their financial position and goals.
One of the benefits of income funds is that they tend to have a low-to-medium risk or return profile within the context of asset allocation, associated benefits, risks, and redemption timeframes. Compared to other types of funds, income funds focus on generating monthly income rather than maximising capital gains. Note that capital is not guaranteed.
As with other types of investments, such as conservative investments or a mortgage fund, it’s important to choose a reliable provider of financial services.
At TPT Wealth we've offered managed funds since 1977. Our income funds aim to provide investors with capital stability and regular, competitive income (paid monthly).
TPT Wealth’s income funds invest in a range of asset classes such as fixed income, commercial mortgages, and money market funds.
What is the average return on income funds?
The average return on income funds can vary depending on several factors, such as the type of income fund, the asset classes it invests in, your investment management team’s strategy, and the prevailing market conditions. In that regard, the average returns on income funds vary from case to case.
A single year of returns on managed funds is usually not enough to give you a complete picture of how a managed fund is expected to perform throughout your investment. To build a more rounded understanding of a fund’s performance, always seek between 5 and 10 years of data. However always remember that past performance is not an indicator of future performance.
Because income fund returns depend greatly on the investment strategy applied, you can leverage the assistance of a skilled professional in managing your funds. At TPT Wealth, a prudent investment approach and an experienced team with a firm eye on the future have helped us provide a range of cash and income funds to investors all over Australia.
Our goal at TPT Wealth is to help you make sound financial choices by managing your investments on your behalf. On top of that, you get 4/7 access to your investment status via our online investor portal, where you can view transactions online, switch online between funds, top up your existing investment, and even submit a redemption.
What should I look for when choosing income funds?
Three essential factors should ideally be taken into consideration when choosing an income fund option: safety, income, and capital growth. As an investor, it’s crucial to select an appropriate balance among these three factors that aligns with your financial goals and risk tolerance. The appropriate mix for you may change over time as your life circumstances and needs change.
Always seek independent financial, legal, and taxation advice and compare income funds before committing. This allows you to make an informed decision on how to manage your money and your potential to increase your returns.
An advantage of TPT Wealth’s managed funds is that you have the ability to pool funds with multiple investors, generally making it easier to begin your investment journey with a relatively low capital requirement.
For a better understanding of managed investment funds, it’s advisable that you obtain and review the relevant Product Disclosure Statements (PDS) and other disclosure documents before deciding to invest, including the Target Market Determination (TMD), Financial Services Guide, Privacy Policy, Benchmark Disclosure Report, and continuous disclosures, which are available at tptwealth.com.au/reports-disclosures.
