    It depends on your attitude to risk, but there are a small number of offshore funds that convert returns on their underlying income to capital gains or dividends. For example, the Jersey domiciled investment trust NCYF - though it should be said this is a high yield bond fund, so can be very volatile during a recession. I do not know if there are lower risk equivalents available as thankfully I don't have much in the way of unwrapped assets these days.
