Which strategies funds and ETF use to look for buffers for difficult stock market phases

Frankfurt When stock prices are bouncing back and forth, many investors wish for calmer, more stable times. As a result, high-dividend stocks have been doing well for around half a year in the face of high price fluctuations and high inflation, especially compared to the previously extremely popular stocks of companies with relatively high earnings growth, the growth stocks.

They also perform well in comparison to the bonds that are considered classic portfolio buffers: They bring stability with inflation protection to the portfolio, and their returns are quite impressive. This shows the recent performance of funds and ETFs with a focus on dividends. Managers of funds with dividend stocks set different strategic priorities and name their favourites.
