Why We Added This FTSE 250 Income Fund - Feb 2026 Portfolio Update
Dear reader,
Another strong month for the portfolio, with more dividends landing in the account, always nice to see the income machine doing its job. The portfolio now averages just over an 8% yield across 20 FTSE-listed holdings, showing how powerful a well-constructed income strategy can be when the focus is on reliable cash flows.
As I write this, however, markets are looking a little greyer. Escalations between the US and Iran have unsettled sentiment and the portfolio has seen a very small pullback. But this is exactly where disciplined stock picking proves its worth. Short-term volatility is inevitable, but when the underlying businesses continue to generate cash and pay dividends, temporary price moves become far less concerning.
This month we added a new position in a FTSE 250 fund. It’s a London-listed investment trust that provides financing to companies operating essential infrastructure assets, primarily through private debt. The portfolio spans sectors such as energy, transport, utilities and digital infrastructure, targeting stable, long-term income backed by contracted or regulated cash flows. In short, it’s the kind of asset that keeps producing cash even when markets get noisy exactly what an income portfolio should be built around.
