Alarm clock five to twelve with sign last chancegetty Closed-end funds (CEFs) really are the “Swiss army knife” of investments: with one click, they let us grab big income (the average CEF yields 7.9%), diversify (within and beyond asset classes) and buy their holdings for cheap! But let’s be honest, when it comes to CEFs, it’s all about the dividends. On that front, there’s a lot to say. For one, many CEFs pay monthly, making managing our income easy: CEFs’ high yields mean we could potentially replace a $6,500 monthly paycheck with less than $1 million invested and live on…

The FCA said: “We expect other lifetime mortgage advisers to pay close attention to…

Utility is a loose and sometimes controversial topic in microeconomics. Generally speaking, utility refers to the degree of pleasure or satisfaction (or removed discomfort) that an individual receives from an economic act. An example would be a consumer purchasing a hamburger to alleviate hunger pangs and to enjoy a tasty meal, providing her with some utility.

By Richard O’Neill, regional lettings director, Romans Estate Agents Over the last 15 years, the HMO market has been transformed. Back in the ‘90s, multi-lets were mainly student housing or cheap and slightly tatty homes for those on a meagre budget. But by the mid-2000s, things were starting to change, and now many landlords offer boutique-style shared accommodation for working professionals. The reason for the boom in HMOs was, quite simply, that they could generate far better returns than single-home lets. Despite the additional administration demands of letting each room on a separate Assured Shorthold Tenancy (AST), more significant maintenance…
