Generous income and portfolio protection from Alliance Trust

This global equity trust is an inflation-buster and has lifted its dividend.

Investors face great uncertainty given growing inflationary pressures and with many central banks accelerating interest rate tightening plans. One way to settle the nerves is to put money to work with a highly-diversified fund offering a real return (adjusted for inflation) through a combination of capital growth and a rising dividend. We think global equity fund Alliance Trust (ATST) is an excellent candidate. Helpfully the trust has just reset its dividend to a materially higher level to help you stave off the impact of the ‘cruellest tax’.
