Image source: Getty Images I don’t know about you, but I don’t plan on working beyond the State Pension age. The thing is, I don’t expect the government pension to give me enough money to live on. It’s why I’m targeting a second income by building wealth with a portfolio of UK and US shares. I’m doing this with the use of tax-efficient Stocks and Shares ISAs. They can save investors like me thousands of pounds in capital gains and dividend tax, money that can instead be invested to accelerate long-term portfolio growth. But how much would one need in…

More than 3,000 attendees and 170 speakers participated in the fifth edition of the Mexico Carbon Forum at Expo Tampico, where officials, international representatives, and experts highlighted the urgency of climate action and opportunities in carbon markets. José Luis Samaniego Leyva, undersecretary of Sustainable Development and Circular Economy at SEMARNAT, emphasized that President Claudia Sheinbaum and Environment Minister Alicia Bárcena prioritize building a “zero waste republic.” He warned that nearshoring, new industrial corridors, and energy reforms could add over 212 million tons of CO₂ emissions. Federal policies across sectors—including agriculture, energy, finance, and human development—aim to reduce emissions. Tamaulipas Governor…
Image source: Getty Images Many investors find it appealing to have a goal of making passive income. The exact amount varies depending on several factors, including how much someone can afford to put in the stock market each month. Yet, if a disciplined approach is taken, the income can increase over time, especially if good dividend stocks are purchased. Some of the factors at play I’m going to assume that £500 a month is the amount that can be invested in dividend stocks. Of course, this will vary from investor to investor, but we have to start somewhere. The next…

Image source: Getty Images The performance of Glencore (LSE: GLEN) shares and fellow FTSE 100 mining stock Fresnillo (LSE: FRES) couldn’t be more different. Trading and commodity giant Glencore has had a tough year, its shares dropping almost 20%. That would have reduced £10,000 to roughly £8,000. By contrast, Fresnillo has rocketed an incredible 287% over the same period, turning £10,000 into £38,700. These figures ignore dividends. The gap is staggering. Yet over five years, they’re both up around 70%. That shows how cyclical this sector is. Glencore and Fresnillo are just at different points in the cycle. FTSE 100…

My Aviva (LSE: AV.) shares are a core part of my income portfolio, as the insurer has long been a respected and reliable dividend-payer in the UK. However, it hasn’t always been plain sailing. Aviva has occasionally paused or reduced its dividend, most notably during the 2008 financial crisis and more recently, the pandemic. That’s why I wanted to take a closer look at the three-year forecast to see what I might reasonably expect from this stock in the near term. Growth expected Aviva has been paying dividends for over 30 years, with a compound annual growth rate of approximately…
Image source: Getty Images A Self-Invested Personal Pension, or SIPP, can allow someone to invest over the course of decades to help fund their retirement. Indeed, if they do that well enough, it may even enable them to retire early. But whether that happens depends on a number of factors. One, of course, is how much they put into the SIPP. But another important factor is how they invest those funds. Here are a couple of things I think can help improve the prospects of successfully building wealth in a SIPP – and one potential pitfall. Starting as soon as…

Image source: Getty Images UK stocks have enjoyed a very decent run so far in 2025, as evidenced by the FTSE 100 rising by 11.6% this year. One of the constituents of the index that has enjoyed an incredibly splendid year is Rolls-Royce (LSE:RR). The aircraft engine manufacturer has seen its shares increase by 95.4%. The Footsie’s return is very pale in comparison. This isn’t for no reason, either. The company continues to see very strong results. I particularly see its investments in nuclear energy as a potential catalyst for even further growth. The future of energy Rolls-Royce has been…
