Dividend-Based Stocks To Ease Market Turbulence

Dividend-based equity portfolios tend to perform better than others regardless of the economic environment, and are attractive amid the recent turbulence, Royal Bank of Canada’s Myles Zyblock said in a note today. Using dividend-paying stocks to raise portfolios’ income exposure could provide insulation during market volatility, Zyblock wrote in the note.

“We find dividend-based portfolios tend to outperform through time and across various macro environments,” Zyblock, who is based in Toronto and is RBC’s chief institutional strategist, said. “A strategy that offers a high return per unit of risk is something we can buy into, especially in today’s volatile market.”
