Invest mainly for income - City of London, Edinburgh, Murray Intl., Finsbury Gr. & Inc., Temple Bar and Dunedin Smaller. Just considering adding Invesco Inc. Growth.

I hold about 20 ITs in my SIPP covering most of the major markets. The largest holdings are Scottish Mortgage, Bankers, Temple Bar, F&C Global Smaller Companies and Fidelity Special Values -these main ones account for about 75% of the total value.

Foreign & Colonial and TR Property so far. Genesis Emerging Markets to be added shortly.

Perpetual Income & Growth
Fidelity Special Values
Fidelity Asian Values

However, as only one of the above pays any income, would like to invest in more that do actually pay a regular income. Any suggestions gratefully received!

aberforth smaller companies (ASL) - UK smaller companies (defined as including the lower part of the FTSE 250), with clear commitment to "value" investing

aberdeen asian smaller companies (AAS) - smaller companies in asia/pacific ex-japan; the majority of this is in emerging markets, and i hold it because aberdeen place some emphasis on factors such as looking for companies which have competent management, and are run in the interest of shareholders, which i think are lacking in some emerging markets, and which make me uncomfortable with using trackers for emerging markets

candover (CDI) - private equity trust, with dreadful long-term record, but now in wind-up mode, with most of the value in the 4 or 5 biggest holdings, so shareholders might get a good return of cash over the next few years

might buy more of AAS.

might also buy: british empire securities (BTEM) - international value investor; likes to buy companies which appear to be worth more than the sum of their parts, e.g. various continental european and asian conglomerates; this would be a way to increase overseas exposure, while doing something a bit different from just putting more in tracker funds for major overseas markets (i have also been doing the latter recently).
