Building blocks for a Snowball portfolio

All articles are to inform your thinking, not lead it. Only you can decide the best place for your money and any decision you make will put your money at risk. Information or data included below may have already been overtaken by events – and must be verified elsewhere – should you choose to act on it.

Some Trusts to build a portfolio on sound foundations.

The intention is to never sell the Trusts in the portfolio *

but to use the dividends to buy more Trusts that pay a dividend

and repeat. *If/when a Trust rises in value and the yield falls

u could sell, crystallizing the capital gain and re-invest in

a higher yielding Trust.

If u buy a buy to let house and intend to use the rent to pay

for your retirement, the value of the house is unimportant

if u want to keep receiving the rent to pay your bills.

LWDB could be a buy if/when the next time the market crashes.

Portfolio change

I’ve added to the Snowball by buying 2855 shares in AEI

for 8k

xd next week for £162.00 payable in March.

Currently £112,628.00 invested in the market.

This is not the value of the portfolio as it will take a while

for markets to improve and more dividends earned.

It makes no difference because as the price of a Trust rises

the yield falls, so when u are re-investing lower for longer

is best.

Stick to your plan until it sticks to u.

Abrdn Equity Income

I am going to buy a position in AEI as the shares they hold

are of interest to me and looking well ahead for when the FTSE100

trades higher.

Portfolio rules

There are only two.

  1. Buy Investment Trusts that pay a ‘secure’ dividend and use those dividends to buy more Investment Trusts that pay a ‘secure’ dividend.
  2. Any Trust that drastically alters their dividend policy must be sold even at a loss.
