Navigating Volatile Markets With Dividend ETFs
In such a volatile market, dividend ETFs normally come to rescue. The hunt for dividends in the equity market is always on, irrespective of how it is behaving. After all, who doesn’t like a steady stream of current income along with capital gains? And if investors are mired in a web of equity market uncertainty, global growth worries and geopolitical crisis, the lure for dividend investing increases further.
Investors should note that not all dividend stocks serve the same purpose. While the high-yield ones are known for offering hefty current income, stocks with dividend growth point to quality investing — a prerequisite to making money in this volatile environment.
Hence, dividend investing became even more important. Several dividend-based exchange-traded funds (ETFs) hit a 52-week high lately. These securities provide investors with avenues to make up for capital losses if that happens at all.
Against this backdrop, below we highlight a few of the dividend ETFs that have been hovering around a 52-week high. Note that international dividend ETFs showed strength this time around.
