Low Volatility: Equity Upside with Downside Protection
Low volatility strategies offer investors a less risky way to participate in the equity market, and these strategies have performed well in a number of different market environments. This is supported by over 90 years of empirical data, which show that, relative to the broad market, low-volatility strategies offer better stability, higher risk-adjusted and absolute returns, and shallower drawdowns in volatile markets.
U.S. Preferreds: Higher Income Opportunities
Fixed income securities have been under pressure in 2022 from several fronts: rapidly increasing interest rates, higher inflation, global uncertainty in (what we hope is) the tail-end of the COVID-19 pandemic and topping it off, the Russia-Ukraine war. Despite all this, there is some good news for investors: yields in some pockets of the fixed-income space have now increased to the point where meaningful income is available, especially in coupon-rich segments like U.S. Preferreds. To illustrate, we highlight the features of a pair of adjustable U.S. Preferred issues from two major financial services issuers: one recent, and one completed several months ago.
So Long, “Lower for Longer”

Investment firms, insurance companies, banks and others braced for this reality, wondering if the next year would in fact be different.
