First of all, what’s passive income? 

Basically, passive income is any income that you can earn while you sleep. There are two ways to generate passive income:

1. Create royalty- or revenue-generating content, such as a blog, podcast, or online course. This strategy requires time and persistence.
2. Invest into income-generating investments, such as dividend-yielding bonds or real estate. This strategy requires capital.

We’re here to help you with the latter, with our Passive Income portfolio:

Our Passive Income portfolio, in a nutshell:

With our Passive Income portfolio, you get a portfolio pre-built with income-generating assets that you can adjust and change at any time.

• It features a 99% globally-diversified exposure to a variety of bond assets, including global, corporate, high-yield bonds
• It offers 4 – 6% p.a target payouts
• It’s constructed to withstand changing economic environments over the long term to continuously deliver attractive yields
• There’s no minimum investment amount and no lock-ins
• It's USD-based

Our Passive Income portfolio might suit you if you…

• Want to preserve your capital while getting regular income payouts.
• Are looking for assets that can do well during a recession, as bonds tend to rise first as markets price in a recession.
• Want to see less volatility in your investments, since income portfolios provide investors with regular payments. In the current interest-rate environment, fixed income is an attractive option thanks to its high yields.

Why earn passive income now?

Bond yields are currently at decade-highs, thanks to sticky inflation and high interest rates that are likely to persist throughout 2023. High interest rates push up bond yields, meaning that bonds can provide investors with compelling yields at low risk.
