Platinum Pro Buyer’s Series: The Power of Global Dividends

28 min watch

With the performance of many growth stocks compromised in the current high-rate environment, investors are turning to other sources for income and appreciation. Dividend income can play an essential role in keeping pace with inflation and lifting total return over time.

Important Information

Investments carry risks, including possible loss of principal. Additional risks may be associated with investments in emerging markets, including currency fluctuations, illiquidity, volatility, and political and economic risks. Investments in small- and mid-capitalization companies may increase the risk of greater price fluctuations. Portfolios investing in bonds have the same interest rate, inflation, and credit risks that are associated with the underlying bonds. The value of bonds will fluctuate relative to changes in interest rates, decreasing when interest rates rise. Unlike bonds, bond funds have ongoing fees and expenses. Investments in mortgage-backed securities (MBS) may bear additional risk. Investments in the Fund are not insured, nor are they bank deposits or guaranteed by a bank or any other entity. For risks materially relevant to the Fund, please read the Fund’s Annual Report or Prospectus/Supplement available at www.thornburg.com/ucits.
