Investing for Income

You don't need to be a genius to understand that the low interest rate environment is having a substantial effect on investors' ability to find income. The traditional 'safe haven' of income-seekers—that of developed world sovereign bonds such as UK Gilts or American Treasuries—is in many cases offering a negative real return. With interest rates at historic lows, saving account is no longer a choice for income seekers. Then where to look for income? What strategies investors can adopt to get higher income? How to avoid risks associated with income? Are there any income opportunities in the current investment environment?
