Rodilosso On VanEck’s Total Return Dividend Strategy

Fran Rodilosso, Head of ETF Fixed Income Portfolio Management, VanEck met with Julie Cooling, Founder & CEO, RIA Channel to discuss his outlook on fixed income and how investors can capture yield. “The Fed’s change in outlook caught the market wrong footed,” says Rodilosso on the 2019’s potential for no rate hikes and an easier monetary policy than originally predicted. For the overall market, this means a “risk on” attitude. Within fixed income, advisors must once again be on the lookout for yield. As rates have come back down, Rodilosso encourages investors to diversify their core fixed income exposure with high yield strategies, such as emerging market debt, tax-advantaged solutions and dividend income.
