Over long horizons, dividends' growth and reinvestment of those payouts serve as vital factors in portfolio growth. However, dividends aren't guaranteed and with bond yields still high, some skittish investors may be inclined to embrace fixed income over equity income.

Long-Term Case for Dividend Investing Alive and Well

DURA features the rare combination of low-volatility, high dividends, and high quality. It competes well with SPHD and LVHD, and is a nice choice for defensive dividend investors. With an expected 3.38% yield, there are higher-paying options. Also, the ETF hasn't attracted new investors over the last six months, so it might not be the best long-term play. Still, I believe investors should begin considering low-volatility ETFs again since broad-market earnings revisions are trending downward. The bull market is finally losing steam.

Investing in dividend-paying stocks has proved to be a helpful strategy, outperforming global markets over the long term. Dividend income strategies play an important role for multi-asset income portfolios. But they can also run the risk of being too narrowly focused, which can limit both income potential and upside participation when equity markets rise.
