What 's the benefit of investing in a growth and income strategy?
In most situations, when you purchase an investment, your capital can grow in two ways:
(A) periodic payments (cash flow, dividends, interest, rental income, etc.)
(B) a change in capital value (growth) when you sell the security or investment. These two ways of growing capital together is called a total return (yield + growth). for example: think of owning a rental property – you might receive monthly rental income (yield or cash flow) from renting the property to a tenant and, when you sell the property, if the market value has increased since the time of purchase, then you will realize a capital gain or (price return).
A growth and income fund is class of mutual fund or exchange-traded fund (ETF) that has a dual strategy of both capital appreciation (growth) and current income generated through dividends or interest payments. A growth and income fund may invest only in equities or in a combination of stocks, bonds, real estate investment trusts (REIT) and other securities.
A growth and income fund is a type of blend fund, which invests in both growth and value stocks.
As firm, we believe that focusing on an investment total return is more important than just focusing on yields. At the same time, we understand why many investors may have a preference for predictable sources of income, like dividends, rental income and interest payments.
Generating cash flow from your investment strategy
Depending on your life stage...you will direct your investment objectives accordingly. for example, if you are in the accumulation period, capital appreciation is the main objective, but if you are nearing or in retirement generating cash flow or systematic income shall be your focus. . But, you might also be thinking that if you need income, that you should be invested only in Income-focused strategies. The reality is that you need to have both investment objectives combined.
Cash flow that can be generated from securities and proceeds from the sale of appreciated securities. During the accumulation period, some investors decides to reinvest interest or dividend payments (you consult a tax advisor for implications upon selling your securities)
