Padding for portfolios: the role of dividend equities
Published: 03/07/2024
Dividend equities may play an important role in portfolios as investors navigate a more challenging market environment marked by slowing growth, higher interest rates, and elevated geopolitical risks.
Important Information
1. The Fund invests primarily in companies, globally, that generate high and rising income.
2. The Fund is therefore exposed to risks related to equity, emerging markets, concentration, currency, derivative, hedging and currency hedged share classes. For currency hedged share classes, the currency hedging process may not give a precise hedge and there is no guarantee that the hedging will be totally successful.
3. The Fund may at its discretion pay dividends out of capital. The Fund may also at its discretion pay dividends out of gross income while charging all or part of the Fund’s fees and expenses to the capital of the Fund, resulting in an increase in distributable amount for the payment of dividends and therefore, effectively paying dividends out of realised, unrealised capital gains or capital. Investors should note that, share classes of the Fund which pay dividends may distribute not only investment income, but also realised and unrealised capital gains or capital. Payment of dividends out of capital amounts to a return or withdrawal of part of an investor’s original investment or from any capital gains attributable to that original investment. Any dividend payments, irrespective of whether such payment is made up or effectively made up out of income, realised and unrealised capital gains or capital, may result in an immediate reduction of the net asset value per share. Also, a positive distribution yield does not imply a positive return on the total investment.
4. Investors may be subject to substantial losses.
5. Investors should not solely rely on this document to make any investment decision.
The case for global dividend equities
As we enter a more challenging market environment marked by stickier inflation, higher-for-longer interest rates, elevated equity valuations and rising geopolitical risks, dividend equities could play an important role in portfolios.
1. Relatively attractive valuations
The rally over the past year has been concentrated among low or no dividend yielding companies, leading to a dispersion in valuations between companies that pay dividends and those that do not or pay very little. A broadening market could help narrow the spread, working to the benefit of dividend equities. Even among mega cap tech companies, some are beginning to initiate dividends and focus on cash generation as their business models mature, expanding the investable universe for those seeking equity income opportunities.
A narrow market rally in 2023 has led to a dispersion in valuations between low/no dividend yielders and dividend payers.
Source: Bloomberg, J.P. Morgan Asset Management. Data as of 31.03.2024. Dividend paying companies refer to covered stocks which pay dividend in the MSCI All Country World Index (MSCI ACWI). Low/no dividend yielders refer to covered stocks yielding below 0.8x the MSCI ACWI yield. Provided for information only to illustrate macro trends, not to be construed as offer, research or investment advice. Indices do not include fees or operating expenses and are not available for actual investment. Past performance and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of current or future results.
2. Peak interest rates tend to present a constructive backdrop for global dividend stocks
As the current monetary policy tightening cycle draws to a close, global dividend stocks may present an attractive opportunity. Looking back at the last four rate hike cycles, global dividend stocks recorded relatively robust performance in the 12 months after the last Federal Reserve (Fed) interest rate hike with a tighter dispersion of returns versus other equity sectors.
Developed market high dividend equities have a track record of robust performance post the end of past rate hike cycles.

Developed Market High Dividend refers to market cap weighted returns in USD for constituents in the MSCI World Index between the 50th and 90th percentiles of trailing 12-month dividend yield. All Country World: MSCI All Country World Index; Developed Market Equity: MSCI World Index; Emerging Market Equity: MSCI Emerging Market Index; Asia Pacific ex-Japan: MSCI Asia Pacific ex-Japan Index; Developed Market Growth: MSCI World Growth Index; Developed Market Value: MSCI World Value Index; US Large Cap: S&P 500 Index; US Small Cap: Russell 2000 Index; Europe Equity: MSCI Europe Index; Japan Equity: MSCI Japan Index. Total return in USD unless otherwise specified. *Refers to the duration between the last rate hike and the first rate cut, specifically February 1989 – June 1989, February 1995 – July 1995, May 2000 – January 2001, June 2006 – September 2007, December 2018 – August 2019. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of current and future results. Provided for information only to illustrate macro trends, not to be construed as offer, research or investment advice. Indices do not include fees or operating expenses and are not available for actual investment.
3. Defensive assets to ride out uncertainty
The resilience of this asset class can be ascribed to its higher quality characteristics. While not the only metric to assess quality, a long track record of healthy dividend payouts is typically a useful barometer of stronger company fundamentals as well as a signal of a commitment to shareholder value.
The search for higher quality opportunities that are attractively valued could be in favour as investors navigate a more challenging and uncertain macro backdrop. Stickier-than-expected inflation could keep interest rates higher for longer and over time, this could stall economic growth and present challenges for valuations and earnings. Combining both “quality” and “value”, global dividend equities may present a useful option to ride out an environment of higher real rates and slowing economic growth.
4. Dividend growth momentum remains robust
Global dividend growth has proven to be more resilient than global earnings, recording an annual increase of 6% in 2023 versus -2% for global earnings1. Low dividend payout ratios coupled with relatively robust earnings may continue to support dividend growth momentum as many companies have yet to revise their dividend policies after cutting pay-outs significantly during the height of the COVID-19 crisis. We would need to observe a material weakening in earnings before dividends could come under pressure, in our view.
Dividend growth momentum remains robust.

Indices do not include fees or operating expenses and are not available for actual investment.

Forecasts/estimates may or may not come to pass. Past performance and forecasts are not a reliable indicator of current or future results.
Active and selective: Finding the sweet spot among dividend yielders, growers and compounders
Still, not all dividend stocks are created equal and the challenge is separating the wheat from the chaff. We tend to observe a structural overvaluation of equities that either exhibit higher current dividend yields or faster near-term dividend growth, driven ostensibly by investor short-termism, or a general focus on short-term results at the expense of longer-term outcomes. In our view, seeking out opportunities that combine attractive dividend yield with sustainable dividend growth – also known as “compounders” – can be useful to construct a robust and durable portfolio of dividend equities.
Source: J.P. Morgan Asset Management. For illustrative purposes only.
To that end, the JPMorgan Global Dividend Fund invests across the yield spectrum with an emphasis on underappreciated companies that exhibit a relatively attractive blend of dividend yield and dividend growth. These compounders have historically recorded consistent returns within the fund’s investable universe2. This is balanced by smaller allocations to companies with higher dividend growth and higher dividend yield, allowing the Fund to access a broader range of industries and business models.
Underpinned by an investment philosophy that has been in place for over three decades which prioritises dividend quality and sustainable dividend growth, the JPMorgan Global Dividend Fund capitalises a well-resourced, global research platform to seek out high conviction ideas. Through this rigorous investment process, the Fund strives to achieve higher dividend yield, faster dividend growth and fewer dividend cuts versus its benchmark, in addition to driving competitive long-term performance.
