Image source: Getty Images Phoenix Group Holdings (LSE: PHNX) has been one of my best passive income providers since I bought it in 2023. This sort of income is made with little ongoing effort on the part of the recipient. In the case of stock dividends, the only real effort needed is to select the shares in the first place. After that, it is just a question of reviewing them periodically to ensure they are performing as they should. How’s the firm been doing? When I bought the stock it had a dividend yield of over 10%, which has fallen…

Image source: Getty Images Achieving financial freedom with an ISA is a laudable aim. However, obtaining a yearly passive income of £18,000 in retirement will be challenging for most because they do not maximise the opportunity of getting their hard-earned money to work for them.

That’s absolutely stunning and it’s still rising at speed, up another 120% over the past 12 months. At this rate, it’s tempting to believe the shares can defy gravity forever. But with a market cap now nudging £97bn, another 2,897% increase would take its total value to £2.9trn, roughly the size of the UK…
