The U.S. economy has been doing great. Jobs are growing and profits are rising. But income investors should watch out for the next downturn because as history has shown, our economy always moves in cycles. The last thing you want is a dividend cut during the next recession. So today, I’m going to show you a way to hedge this risk. There’s no need for complicated financial derivatives. And instead of paying a premium for an insurance policy, you can actually get paid for participating. Sounds too good to be true? Well, let me explain.
Oaktree Capital Group LLC (NYSE:OAK) is an asset management firm. It specializes in alternative investments. With approximately $99.3 billion in assets under management (AUM), the company uses a value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to invest in corporate debt, distressed debt, control investing, real estate, convertible securities, and listed equities. Unlike the asset managers who only know how to make money in bull markets, Oaktree is well positioned to capitalize on the next economic downturn.
