Multi-asset income

01

Being overly defensive can be costly

There are significant opportunity costs to being too defensive. Income plus total return potential exists across many markets today.

02

Rate hiking cycle is expected ending

Many yield assets lagged in 2023, namely dividend stocks and quality bonds, but a Fed on hold could provide an additional boost to income markets.

03

Manage risks through diversification

Diversifying across a broad range of asset classes can help manage volatility. Multi-Asset Income could help balance upside/downside risks while providing competitive income.
