Dividend stocks encountered significant headwinds at the hands of the coronavirus pandemic in the first half of 2020, but data confirm things are looking up.
The Global Dividend Model Portfolio, which is part of WisdomTree’s Modern Alpha series of model portfolios, is an ideal for advisors looking to position client portfolios to capitalize on a refreshed dividend proposition.
“This model portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and high current dividend income, through a globally diversified set of WisdomTree’s dividend income oriented equity ETFs. The model strives to deliver dividend income in excess of the global benchmark of equities,” according to WisdomTree.

Interest rates are low and there’s not much to write home about regarding municipal bonds and Treasuries. Fortunately, dividend stocks are coming back into style.
“This model portfolio seeks to provide capital appreciation and high current dividend income, through a globally diversified set of WisdomTree’s dividend income oriented equity ETFs. The model strives to deliver dividend income in excess of the global benchmark of equities,” according to the issuer.
Seven of the nine ETFs featured in the model portfolio are WisdomTree products spanning domestic and international equities, including emerging markets and small caps. The recurring narrative is that yield is hard to come by nowadays, but fixed income investors still have options.
