Income and quality should always matter, but it\u2019s markets like these when those characteristics really count.
\nHistorically, since 1930, dividends have contributed about 40% of the S&P 500\u2019s total return. Their input has varied widely from decade to decade, however. According to a recent Insights Report from the Hartford Funds, dividends played a large role in terms of their contribution to total returns.
\nWhat sort of a role will dividends play now?
\nWe have a new guest on WEALTHTRACK with a long and distinguished track record of investing in high-quality, dividend-paying stocks. She is Clare Hart, who Morningstar calls \u201cone of the industry\u2019s most impressive managers.\u201d
\nHart has been the Lead Portfolio Manager of two highly-rated funds since 2004.
\nHart will discuss the benefits of focusing on quality and dividends, particularly in a difficult market environment.
