Are you restless at the thought of fluctuating interest rates and the impact on your hard-earned investments? Fear not. Here, we journey through the intricate lens of the global investment landscape, diving deep into its ebbs and flows with our guest, Daniel Perris, a portfolio manager with a keen eye on historical trends. We tackle the paradigm shift that has swept through the business world in the last four decades, highlighting how declining interest rates have reshaped the ties between businesses and investors. Perris shares his expert insights on the profound role of dividends in long-term wealth development and questions the growing preference for tech-centric investments. Strap in as we scrutinize the 40-year paradigm's imminent end and the consequential reshuffling of the investment environment. From the unnerving implications of soaring interest rates to political adjustments and disruptions in global supply chains, nothing is left untouched. Perris and I also ponder the future of investments in an environment inching closer to 'normalcy.' We dissect the rise of passive investing, ETFs, and mutual funds, alongside the escalating risk rates and even the unnerving prospect of negative real rates. Finally, we delve into the captivating world of dividend investing during periods of market volatility and ambiguity. As we tackle the importance of managing dividend risk amidst a low-yield market and the potential influences of geopolitical dynamics on dividend quality stocks, you will find the tools and confidence to navigate these unchartered waters. We close our insightful journey with a look at the shift towards the US market, the potential for tech companies to start paying dividends, and the invaluable role of dividends and balance sheets in the current economic climate. So join us, and let's navigate the treacherous yet rewarding world of dividend investing together.ANTICIPATE STOCK MARKET CRASHES, CORRECTIONS, AND BEAR MARKETS WITH AWARD WINNING RESEARCH.
