The Living is Yield-y model portfolio: one year update [Members]

Wow! Doesn’t time fly when you’re hypothetically living off the notional income from a model portfolio?

It’s already more than a year since I set up The Living is Yield-y (TLIY), when I finally put out on a natural yield income strategy after many years of teasing.

    Love the concept of this portfolio and looking forward to seeing how it develops over the next few years.

    Back in 2015 I was much taken with Greybeards thoughts on using IT’s natural yield to generate a retirement income, so much so that I experimented with it until 2019. It was and is a good idea, especially now with the change to pension treatment under IHT. I moved away from it because I was still in accumulation and the performance was falling behind my benchmark at that time, even with dividend reinvestment. This article has tickled my fancy. Thanks
