Constructing a big portfolio doesn’t have to interrupt the financial institution. Certainly, investing £1,000 a month may end up in a portfolio value £1.16m after 30 years. That might generate a really sizeable second earnings.
The good information right here is that this situation assumes a 7% common annual return. That’s truly under the long-term complete return from the FTSE 100 and considerably lower than the typical returns of the S&P 500.
Right here’s how I’d go about attempting to succeed in a £100k+ passive earnings portfolio.
Get the ball rolling
A no brainer place to begin can be to arrange a Shares and Shares ISA. This is able to actually open up a world of investing prospects as a result of most ISA suppliers immediately enable worldwide dealing.
The profit right here is that it might give my portfolio diversification, permitting me to purchase US shares in addition to these listed in London. My very own portfolio immediately is break up about 50/50 between US and UK shares.
Even higher, an ISA permits me to take a position £20k a yr and pay no tax on any capital returns or dividends. That’s why I exploit the time period no-brainer.

Which shares to purchase?
Right here, I’m going to focus on a FTSE 100 inventory I’ve at present acquired on my purchase checklist. It usually flies underneath the radar regardless of rising earnings impressively for years. It’s Coca-Cola HBC (LSE: CCH).
This Switzerland-based firm has the unique rights to bottle and distribute merchandise from The Coca-Cola Firm in 29 nations throughout Europe, Asia, and Africa. The HBC bit on the finish stands for Hellenic Bottling Firm, hinting at its roots in Greece within the Nineteen Sixties.
The agency buys core concentrates, syrups and bases from the US delicate drinks big. These are the formulation that give Coca-Cola, Sprite, and Fanta their particular tastes. In the meantime, Coca-Cola retains a major possession stake within the firm.
In 2023, internet gross sales income elevated 10.7% yr on yr to €10.2bn, representing the third straight yr of double-digit progress. Web revenue was €637m and brokers see this rising to €864m in 2026.
The dividend was raised by 19% and its five-year compound annual progress fee is 10.3%. The forward-looking dividend yield immediately is 3.1%, which I discover enticing given its long-term progress potential.
Naturally, an financial downturn is a threat right here, as this might result in weaker demand for delicate drinks, particularly within the vacationer hotspots it operates in (Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and so forth).
That stated, Coke gross sales have a tendency to carry up fairly nicely even throughout downturns. Buying and selling at 14 occasions ahead earnings for 2024, I believe the inventory presents large worth.
Passive earnings
As talked about, such shares reaching a 7% annual return might assist me construct a £1.16m portfolio in 30 years.
Nonetheless, I believe it’s life like to goal for a mean return of 9%. This isn’t assured and there will likely be tough durations alongside the way in which, together with maybe the odd main crash. However pound value averaging (investing recurrently so typically I purchase when costs are excessive, typically once they’re low) would assist clean out these ups and downs.
Assuming this 9% return (which, after all, isn’t assured and might be a lot decrease), my hypothetical £12,000 compounding at this greater fee over three a long time would develop into £1.7m, excluding any brokerage charges. Pretty.
At this level, I might select to put money into dividend-paying shares yielding a mean 6%, giving me a possible yearly passive earnings stream of £102,000.
