This is a book which should be read by everyone from the comfortably affluent to those with more modest wealth because seeking an income crosses the wealth brackets.’

Is it possible to generate a decent income from investing in the stock market? Volatile markets, increasing regulation and variable interest rates certainly make it difficult to develop a profitable portfolio, but it can be done with some sound advice.  

The Financial Times Guide to Investing for Income is the definitive guide to using investments such as equities, bonds and derivative structures, as a source of income. It provides you with the necessary tools to work out the best strategy to follow. The book begins by describing the basics of risk, return, volatility, structure, inflation and investing. It then shows you the simplest and safest products and funds before moving on to higher risk strategies that will pay the highest income.
