AIC releases educational video with advisers explaining how income investment companies work
Financial planners explain the benefits of investment companies and their structure for income-seeking investors through a series of interviews complemented by easy-to-understand animations.
The Association of Investment Companies (AIC) has released an educational video in which financial advisers explain investment companies’ income benefits. Through a series of interviews complemented by easy-to-understand animations, financial planners explain the benefits of investment companies and their structure for income-seeking investors.
Annabel Brodie-Smith, Communications Director of the Association of Investment Companies (AIC), said: “Income continues to be a top priority for many investors in the current low interest rate environment. In our new video, financial advisers explain how investment companies, with their ability to smooth dividend payments, can help meet investors’ need for consistent, long-term income. They also explain the AIC dividend heroes and how to make a start on researching investment companies. The video is animated in a fun and friendly style to make the topic as approachable as possible.
“Finally, the video highlights Income Finder, our new tool designed to help income seekers research and analyse investment companies. Income Finder enables investors to create a virtual portfolio of income-paying investment companies and see how much income they could receive month by month over a year, as well as hosting a guides and glossary section.”
