Image source: Getty Images FTSE 100 shares are a brilliant way to build a high and rising passive income for retirement. They offer the prospect of earning money without raising much of a sweat. There are risks though. How much of a second income investors receive will depend on a string of factors, from the type of shares they choose to how long they hold them.
