Why U.S. And International Dividend Strategies Are Working Again

US dividend-focused investment strategies are gaining traction as markets shift away from mega-cap technology stocks, according to a report from Franklin Templeton. In 2022, US companies set a record by distributing $704.8 billion in dividends, marking the 15th consecutive year of record payouts. This trend is mirrored internationally, where dividend growth has accelerated, driven by lower valuations and a stronger emphasis on shareholder returns in sectors like financials and industrials. As investors seek resilience in their portfolios, dividend allocations are becoming increasingly appealing. Franklin Templeton, a global investment management firm based in California, emphasizes its commitment to helping clients achieve better investment outcomes through its extensive expertise and diverse strategies. With over 1,300 investment professionals and more than $1.4 trillion in assets under management as of June 30, 2023, the firm continues to adapt to evolving market dynamics.
