Allspring portfolio manager Eddie Cheng argues that equities are the best way to protect long-term purchasing power in a higher interest rate and inflation regime.
Fund managers at Janus Henderson and abrdn share why they are bullish on the healthcare sector.
Global dividends fell nearly 1% in the third quarter of the year, according to the latest Janus Henderson Global Dividend Index.
Total payouts rose 4.9% on a headline basis, according to research from Janus Henderson.
Fundamentals, corporate behaviour and valuations offer positive signs for emerging markets (EM) equities, believes M&G Investments.
Share buybacks came close to eclipsing dividends last year.
Economic recovery and higher cash levels will boost dividend pay-outs this year, believes the asset manager.
Corporate earnings are recovering, and earnings and dividends growth are highly correlated, according to JP Morgan Asset Management (JPMAM).
Recent headlines may highlight cutbacks in payouts, but the global universe of dividend-paying stocks is vast and diversified with a long track record of growth.
Global bond yields are expected to be low and the wealth manager recommends tilting toward dividend-paying equities.
