Dividend Yields: Energy Firms and Team I

dividend yields: The S&P 500 is up about 5.5% during that time, though about one-third of its component stocks are down for the year, according to Market Watch. Many of the strongest performers over the past 12 months are stocks that are known for paying dividends. As one measure of this, the MSCI All-Cap World Index ACWI, -0.51% gained 2.6% in the 12 months ended Oct. 26, 2016. By that I mean they are in economic sectors that traditionally produce the highest dividend yields in the market. As yield-focused investors, my team and I spend a lot of time trolling these sectors for ideas, and as of last summer we observed a real dislocation. These include utilities, real-estate investment trusts , telecom companies and major energy firms. (news.financializer.com). As reported in the news.
