Investors holding Income shares are entitled to receive regular income payments. The payments are usually made twice a year, but can be quarterly or monthly. In the case of funds or share classes where only Income shares are available, you can choose to reinvest this income to buy further shares free from the initial charge where applicable. An Income share in an investment trust/investment company is entitled to all the income during the lifetime of the trust and receives a set amount at redemption, although this is sometimes only a nominal amount.
