Most South African investors think about offshore exposure purely as growth. But your global portfolio can also pay you a steady income in hard currency.

In this Standard Bank Power Hour, Simon Brown shows you how to build an offshore income stream that lands in dollars, not rands.

We starts close to home with JSE-listed shares and ETFs that already give you offshore income and high yields, then move to the main event: US-listed income ETFs.

Simon will walk through what is actually on offer, from high-dividend and dividend-growth stocks and ETFs to the newer covered-call income ETFs, how their yields are really generated, the trade-offs to watch, and how to hold them sensibly from South Africa.
