About This Episode

Although the latest CPI data showed that inflation is slowing, it is still the number-one concern for clients. Investors are worried about the Fed’s reaction to interest rates, economic turbulence, and a potential recession. My guest today is here to discuss four topics:

1. Why adding low volatility to a portfolio is a defensive mechanism;
2. Where there is opportunity in dividend income, and what elements to prioritize;
3. What high yield bonds offer as a less risky risk asset; and
4. How to use real assets when seeking out inflation protection.
