For decades, investors have looked to cash and bonds to add stability, returns and even steady growth to their portfolios. The
picture is very different today. These same investors are looking for additional sources of income to grow their long-term wealth.
Equity income funds could be the answer! These funds dont just generate an income, they can also be used for capital growth
should investors choose to reinvest that income.
