Portfolio manager Ramona Persaud is back on the program, sharing her thoughts on investing during these uncertain times of economic slowdown. Ramona says there is a lot of fear and unpredictability in the markets these days, leaving investors concerned. But she says her approach remains focused on a few core factors: downside protection and risk-adjusted return. She adds that the type of investor who is attracted to a dividend-oriented strategy wants some amount of stability in returns, and lower volatility. When you maintain patience and focus on downside protection you can get these results.
