‘High-dividend, low-volatility equities can reduce portfolio risk’
Quintet sees little cause for celebration when the world rings in the new year, the Luxembourg private bank said in its 2023 outlook. The year ahead will be one of two halves: once central banks stop raising interest rates, a new cycle of uneven, global growth will begin. High-dividend and low-volatility equities may provide an opportunity to reduce portfolio risk, the firm’s investment officers said.
No reason for yield-phobia
Investors have always worried about what rising bond yields mean for markets. But today, such fears appear unfounded, argues Daniele Antonucci, Chief Economist at Quintet Private Bank.
