Summary
A £20,000 Stocks and Shares ISA investment could grow to £316,301 over 30 years and generate £15,815 a year in passive income at a 5% yield.
The projection uses the average 9.64% annual growth rate recorded by Stocks and Shares ISAs over the past decade, with returns and dividends reinvested to compound gains.
ISA tax rules strengthen the outcome because UK adults can shelter up to £20,000 a year from income tax, dividend tax and capital gains tax.
British American Tobacco is cited as one possible income stock, offering a 5.34% trailing yield and 28 straight years of dividend increases, though the report notes regulatory, legal and ethical risks.
The broader case is for a diversified portfolio of FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 shares held for decades, using rising dividends to help top up retirement income and offset inflation.
