Investment trusts were popular among this crowd. One of the advantages of the investment trust structure is that it can offer more consistent dividend payments to its investors, because it’s able to hold some money back during high performance years and pay it in a more even keel during low-performance years. This can help those in retirement who would like to have some sort of regular income through their investments.

Scottish Mortgage Investment Trust and City of London Investment Trust are both referred to as ‘dividend heroes’ by the Association of Investment Companies (AIC), meaning they have consistently increased their dividends for over 20 years in a row.

Like the SIPP investors under 66, AJ Bell’s multi asset range is a popular investment option for the older group. While investors over 66 did primarily opt for slightly lower-risk options, such as the balanced fund, interestingly they choose funds with higher return opportunities, like global growth, over the income fund.
