The Challenges and Opportunities of COVID-19

COVID-19 has created a challenging environment for income reliant investors, with interest rates near all-time lows and expected to remain there for the foreseeable future, while in equity markets, even the most reliable dividend payers are facing mounting pressure on their dividend policies over the short to medium term.

In this piece, we explore how we have positioned our global property strategy to deliver investors both solid capital gains and relatively attractive income-based returns during this crisis and over the longer term.
