8. Where else does one look for income?
Bond Funds?
•Very popular in Q3 and 4 2012 but has the ‘great
rotation’ started? Is the sector ‘overbought’?
•Yields can be unpredictable and are presently low.
•Higher yield bond funds possibly a better bet with
risk environment improving.
Equity Income Funds?
•Yields and/or distributions still in the 3 to 5% range
•Capital is not protected – market cap can rise and
fall.
Property?
•Liquidity a concern, speculative developments?
•Physical property can deliver good returns but is not
without risks – cyclical/tenants/maintenance/legal
risk

•A known level of predictable income
•A covenant from a reputable financial institution
