On today’s podcast, we’re featuring portfolio manager Don Newman. For Canadian investors, Don manages Fidelity Dividend Plus Fund, as well as underlying or sub-portfolio manager on several other funds including Dividend Plus Fund. Don speaks with host Glen Davidson, VP Regional Sales Ontario, in today’s show that was recorded on stage during a recent event for advisors held on October 26th in Toronto. Don shares how dividend investing can work in a rising rate environment, especially coming from a downside protection-focused manager. Additionally, how his dividend funds could fit into an overall portfolio. Don also shares how he got his start at Fidelity in 2003 and how the team has grown leaps and bounds from the initial “Team Canada” analysts based in Boston. In terms of the portfolios, we’ll also hear Don’s perspectives on this market cycle and this year’s investment environment compared to prior years.
