Current Income

The investment objective for a portfolio of securities to achieve a steady income.


Current income portfolios are often created for individuals in their retirement years, since they need a steady income for living expenses. 

A current income portfolio is moderately conservative, containing a large percentage of fixed-income securities. But it also includes other assets such as blue chip stocks with high dividends and annuities.
