Excerpts taken from article:
Portfolio Manager Kevin Simpson shares how DIVO can be a good match for long-term investors who wish to help limit volatility while still participating in the stock market and the opportunity for monthly dividends can be used as a possible source of income.
There is always uncertainty in the stock market, but we believe the deflationary cycle that helped feed tremendous gains over the past several decades has ended. Two related strategies can help mitigate downside risk while still capturing most of the upside potential of stocks.
