Yield is Just a Number: How Nasdaq Dorsey Wright’s Approach Can Help Investors Meet Cash Flow Needs

Summary Already Registered? Click here »

Meeting cash flow needs through distributions is becoming challenging with Treasury yields at rock bottom levels and investors enduring widespread dividend cuts this year. Trying to generate a meaningful yield often means unacceptable credit risk. For investors looking to fund their day-to-day lives, a better approach may be to focus on maximizing risk-adjusted returns and manufacturing a distribution to meet individual cash flow needs while managing risk and return. Target distribution strategies seek to leverage a modern portfolio theory approach focused on risk-adjusted returns to deliver steady cash flow to investors while maintaining the principal over the long-run.

In this webinar, participants will learn about:

1. Meeting cash flow needs for clients in the current zero-yield environment is and will remain challenging for financial advisors
2. Using a unique target distribution approach to meet cash flow needs without subjecting investors to excessive risk
3. How the ETF-of-ETFs structure can help investors maximize after-tax investment returns
4. The Nasdaq Dorsey Wright and HANDLS Indexes approach to target distribution investing
5. The potential benefits of a target distribution strategy for retirees
