FlexShares' Huemmer: Dividend cuts aren't the sell signal they once were

Money Life with Chuck Jaffe - A podcast by Chuck Jaffe

Categories:

Chris Huemmer, senior investment strategist at Flexshares, and the FlexShares Quality Dividend Index, says that dividend income streams may become disconnected with stock prices, and that investors shouldn't chase yield but also need to evaluate dividend cuts and suspensions to see if the moves are temporary or caused by real financial difficulties. Also on the show, author Chip Munn talks 'The Retirement Remix,' and Giorgio Caputo, senior fund manager and head of multi-asset value for J.O. Hambro Capital Management talks fixed-income investments and warns about the potential pitfalls of using business-development companies to increase yield now.
