| The term can refer to shares bought in anticipation of an above average income being produced. Also referred to as high yield shares. This normally means that the investor has chosen shares in companies that have a history of paying consistently high dividends. There is no guarantee that the companies will continue to provide the same level of dividends in the future. The term also refers to those shares in a split capital investment trust which receive most or all of the trusts income. The other class of shares (capital shares) get the benefit of the trusts capital growth.
