If there’s any equity ETF segment that stands out without fail, it’s dividend. And if it is priced low, what could be better? After all, the broader market is apprehensive of recessionary risks caused by the trade war.
Though Trump offered the much-needed respite to global markets on Aug 13 by delaying the proposed tariffs on many Chinese imports that are not yet to be subjected to higher tariffs, many market watchers including Goldman Sachs do not foresee any trade deal before Trump’s 2020 election.
So, the investing backdrop will remain volatile in the coming days. Thus, it is better to bet on safer dividend ETFs, more so because the Fed and many other central banks are dovish this year. Also, dividend stocks perform well in a low-rate environment.
Plus, markets hit highs in July. Major indexes like the S&P 500 and the Dow Jones hovered around an all-time high. SPDR S&P 500 ETF (SPY - Free Report) is just trading around 3% down from the all-time high despite a market bloodbath at the start of August.
As investors poured in a lot of money to make the most of the rally, they may have run out of cash. Obviously, many must be on the lookout for ETFs that are still trading below $20 but have reasons to outperform in the days ahead.
We have thus zeroed in on some global high-dividend ETFs. After all, U.S. benchmark Treasury bond yields fell to the lowest level since October 2016. As of Aug 13, the yield on benchmark U.S. Treasuries was 1.68%, down from 2.66% recorded at the start of the year.
In a nutshell, a high dividend feature clubbed with low prices can make an intriguing investment choice at the current level. After all, with low-priced stocks, retail buyers would need less cash to join the market.
Also, stocks below or equal to $20 see huge profits as share price increase of a dollar adds to 5% in one’s portfolio. Meanwhile, stocks priced at $100 or above see 1% or less gain if their share price rises by $1.
Thus, we highlight a few high-yield dividend ETFs and stocks under $20 that investors can keep a watch on in the days to come (see: all the World ETFs here).
