The ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine has given investors a reminder of geopolitical risk. Investors should keep geopolitical risk in mind, particularly for investors that have a high level of risk-aversion.
For example, retirees looking for income should consider safer dividend stocks. Generally, we view safe dividend stocks as those with long histories of consistent dividend growth, along with low payout ratios and durable competitive advantages.
With this in mind, investors could consider the Dividend Aristocrats, a select group of 66 stocks in the S&P 500 Index, with 25+ consecutive years of dividend increases.
