7 Stocks That Give Fixed Income Assets a Run for Your Money

Good evening,

For most of 2024, investors have been in a “risk-on” mood. One reason is artificial intelligence, which is still in the early innings of what will be decades-long growth. Another growth driver is lower interest rates, which generally make equities more attractive. 

However, if you have a lower risk tolerance, or if you’re at a stage where preserving wealth is more important than growing your nest egg, you have less than desirable options. 

On the one hand, you can buy U.S. Treasuries. The rate on a 2-Year Treasury Note is around 4.17%. That’s not the 5% many fixed-income investors flocked to in March 2023, but the rate is guaranteed. You can also look for high-yield savings accounts if liquidity is a concern.  

But both options still put your dollars at risk of depreciation, even with rates that are more than 2% above the current rate of inflation.  

I know there’s a temptation to call “mission accomplished” on inflation. And with the Federal Reserve’s preferred gauge of inflation coming in at 2.1%, you may think so as well.  

However, keep this is mind: No matter who wins the election, government spending is going up. And that means that inflation may be more stubborn than we think.

That leaves many risk-averse investors with an unattractive option of investing in equities, many of which seem overvalued by historical standards.

If you’re looking to shelter your portfolio from market volatility, high-yield dividend stocks are an attractive option. These are generally defined as stocks that have a dividend yield above 4%. Not only will that be competitive with Treasuries, but you get the opportunity for stock price appreciation, leading to a total return far above what you can get from holding Treasuries.
In this special presentation, we are looking at seven high-yield dividend stocks that are outperforming 10-Year Treasuries.
