As Income Solutions enters its 39th year, we once again find ourselves in a world where events are unfolding that we all wish were not happening. 

These events have prompted many so called experts and media commentators to speak loudly about “uncertainty”, causing people to worry about their investments, their superannuation, and ultimately their financial future. Understandably, this can lead some to react emotionally and make short-term decisions. Decisions that almost always come at the cost of long-term outcomes. 

After 39 years in this profession, we have learnt a few certainties. 

• There will always be experts and commentators predicting uncertainty. 

• More often than not be tensions between various groups, countries, and ideologies. 

• There is only one asset class that has consistently protected wealth while providing an increasing passive income stream over time: equities, quality companies. 

• These companies continue to deliver rising dividends year after year, rewarding patient long‑term investors. 

To reflect on this, below is a short video, a walk down memory lane, which highlights how these principles have played out through past market cycles. 

This message is further reinforced by a recent article in The Australian, which once again confirms that Australian companies continue to deliver record dividend payments. Have a read here.

Thank you for your continued support over these last 39 years. Our wonderful team remains committed to helping you build the passive income that allows you to live the life you choose.
