For years, the roles seemed clear: bonds for income, equities for growth. Today, many clients want both: regular payouts without giving up participation in equity markets. Yet with dividend yields on many major indices well below what clients expect, equity income no longer comes by itself.
This is where two very different approaches come in. Option premiums: an actively managed equity portfolio, complemented by a systematic call overlay that turns market volatility into additional income. Quality dividends: a rules-based selection of European companies with high and sustainable dividends, solid balance sheets and strong cash generation, giving you income backed by substance.
Which approach suits which client? How do they behave in rising, sideways and falling markets? And how can they be combined in a portfolio? Fidelity International and Franklin Templeton present their solutions side by side: active and rules-based, option premium and dividend quality.
You’ll take away concrete insights that you can apply directly in client meetings and in portfolio allocation.
