Global financial markets came to rest in May, due to the absence of surprises in important decisions. Nevertheless, the British pound fell at the end of last month as conflicting poll results stoked worries whether the ruling Conservatives could lose seats in June’s general election. Still, Theresa May hopes to strengthen her position towards a hard Brexit as a result of the election outcome.
A timeless topic for investors which has become more prominent over the past years is to generate income. In order to exemplify the progress in different income strategies, STOXX considers three dividend approaches: maximum dividend, quality dividend and high dividend/low volatility. Selecting the right income approach is key for each investor’s mandate, style and horizon. Learn more about these strategies on our blog PULSE ONLINE or in our on our blog Monthly Index News besides last month’s sector and country performance analysis.
