Global Head of Fixed Income Jim Cielinski and Alex Crooke, Co-Head of Equities – EMEA and Asia Pacific, discuss why a straightforward income strategy may make sense for investors now.

Key Takeaways

• As more income can mean more risk, investors should consider a risk-adjusted approach to income investing.
• Rather than focus on maximising yield, investors should consider strategies that look at other ways of producing or generating returns with an approach that seeks to protect on the downside.
• Global equity income dividend-paying stocks may present opportunities, including diversifying risk through different currencies and growth outlooks in different sectors.
