CLARE HART’S LASER FOCUS ON QUALITY & INCOME HAS PAID OFF FOR HER JPMORGAN EQUITY INCOME FUND
Income and quality should always matter, but it’s markets like these when those characteristics really count.
Historically, since 1930, dividends have contributed about 40% of the S&P 500’s total return. Their input has varied widely from decade to decade, however. According to a recent Insights Report from the Hartford Funds, dividends played a large role in terms of their contribution to total returns.
What sort of a role will dividends play now?
We have a new guest on WEALTHTRACK with a long and distinguished track record of investing in high-quality, dividend-paying stocks. She is Clare Hart, who Morningstar calls “one of the industry’s most impressive managers.”
Hart has been the Lead Portfolio Manager of two highly-rated funds since 2004.
Hart will discuss the benefits of focusing on quality and dividends, particularly in a difficult market environment.
