The Global Dividend Opportunity Interview with Josh Duitz, Senior Vice President, Global Equities, and Martin Connaghan, Investment Director, Global Equities, Aberdeen Standard Investments
2 Dec 2020
What's your view on the health of the dividend opportunity in global equities?
With bonds at historic lows, where can investors look for sustainable yield? In addition, the gap between the dividend yields of the S&P500 Index and 10-year US government bonds has reached a historic high, and we believe that gap is going to get wider as earnings recover, dividends grow and while yields remain close to or below zero. Dividend income from equities appears far more attractive and sustainable.
Should investors only look at high-dividend-paying companies?
