Have you ever heard about someone making income in their investment portfolio or needing to generate income within their portfolio? Have you ever looked at them dumbfounded, unsure of what that means?
Yeah, I totally get why. It's hard grasp the concept of earning income if you're not physically working for it. But this is what is called passive income, specifically portfolio income. Your money in your investment portfolio is working for you, you're not working for it. This is the passive piece. The income component comes from interest, dividends, or capital gains being generated in your portfolio. Think of a Certificate of a Deposit earning interest, this is income. Or you're invested in a Technology stock that pays out a dividend every quarter, also income. Mutual Funds often issue capital gain distributions to investors near year end when they're selling off positions in their portfolios. This is also income.
