The search for income
With interest rates hovering around historic lows globally, SMSF investor appetite for alternative income sources has markedly increased. In the current environment, uncertainty is writ large; challenges come at investors from all angles – global and domestic, as well as longer-term structural challenges.
In many cases, investors are going further out on the risk curve, taking on more risk than they usually would, to generate a nominal return to meet their income needs.
