Allspring Global Investments – Equity Income and Climate Risk: Have Your Cake and Eat it?

What do you see investors looking for these days?

Generating income from investments has been a perennial request from investors. In the past few years when fixed income yields have been persistently low, we’ve seen investors looking beyond the relative safety of fixed income securities and moving toward riskier assets, such as equities, in their research for a stable source of income and perhaps a bit of upside potential as well. Whether that has been to benefit from income and growth while accumulating savings or to boost a person’s retirement income, we believe the desire for a consistent, stable source of income is here to stay.
