Constructing a big portfolio doesn’t have to interrupt the financial institution. Certainly, investing £1,000 a month can lead to a portfolio price £1.16m after 30 years. That would generate a really sizeable second revenue.
The nice information right here is that this state of affairs assumes a 7% common annual return. That’s truly beneath 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 making an attempt to achieve a £100k+ passive revenue portfolio.
Get the ball rolling
A no brainer start line could 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 in the present day 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 in the present day is break up about 50/50 between US and UK shares.
Even higher, an ISA permits me to speculate £20k a 12 months and pay no tax on any capital returns or dividends. That’s why I take advantage of the time period no-brainer.

Which shares to purchase?
Right here, I’m going to spotlight a FTSE 100 inventory I’ve presently received on my purchase listing. It usually flies below 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 Sixties.
The agency buys core concentrates, syrups and bases from the US gentle drinks large. 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% 12 months on 12 months to €10.2bn, representing the third straight 12 months of double-digit development. 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 development charge is 10.3%. The forward-looking dividend yield in the present day is 3.1%, which I discover engaging given its long-term development potential.
Naturally, an financial downturn is a danger right here, as this might result in weaker demand for gentle drinks, particularly within the vacationer hotspots it operates in (Italy, Greece, Switzerland, and so forth).
That mentioned, Coke gross sales have a tendency to carry up fairly effectively even throughout downturns. Buying and selling at 14 instances ahead earnings for 2024, I believe the inventory affords large worth.
Passive revenue
As talked about, such shares attaining a 7% annual return may assist me construct a £1.16m portfolio in 30 years.
Nonetheless, I believe it’s real looking to purpose for a median return of 9%. This isn’t assured and there can be difficult intervals alongside the way in which, together with maybe the odd main crash. However pound price averaging (investing recurrently so generally I purchase when costs are excessive, generally after they’re low) would assist easy out these ups and downs.
Assuming this 9% return (which, after all, isn’t assured and may very well be a lot decrease), my hypothetical £12,000 compounding at this increased charge over three many years would grow to be £1.7m, excluding any brokerage charges. Beautiful.
At this level, I may select to spend money on dividend-paying shares yielding a median 6%, giving me a possible yearly passive revenue stream of £102,000.
