May 19, 2021 Dividends are working again. So are value stocks – they are one of this year’s best-performing investment factors. Advisors and investors can capitalize on that duo with the TEQI, a semi-transparent exchange traded fund, “invests at least 80% of its net assets in common stocks, with an emphasis on large-capitalization stocks that have a strong track record of paying dividends or that are believed to be undervalued,” according to T. Rowe Price. The ETF typically focuses on value stocks with above-average yields. Low interest rates – the scenario income investors are contending with today – are usually seen as beneficial to high-dividend names. Another point in favor of TEQI is that inflation is conducive to upside for high-yield stocks.
