My parents are close to retirement (2 years) and have a larger amount free to invest about 200 k€.
They would like to improve their small pension through dividends / interest.
My approach would be:
40 % ETF:
70 % $SPYD (-0,28%)
20 % $SPYW (-1,63%)
10 % $IAPD (-0,1%)
40 % Individual shares (dividend growth)
a.o.
20 % Security:
10 % Cash
10 % Call money
Steadily increasing dividends and not too much risk are important.
I look forward to your suggestions 🙌😉
