If a Recession Is Coming, History Says This 1 No-Brainer ETF Is the Smartest Buy Right Now
Hopefully, a recession is averted, but if one arrives, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF could help investors weather the storm.
Overview
Things are not all right in the bond market. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, 10-year Treasury yields hit their highest levels since 2007, just weeks after their 30-year counterparts accomplished the same dubious feat. Seasoned market participants know what soon followed: the global financial crisis.
That doesn't mean history will repeat this time around. Still, professional investors have long relied on the bond market as a recession indicator, though not necessarily a foolproof predictor of coming economic contraction. The point is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Details
Investors can get that preventative ounce with the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (NYSEMKT: SPHD), an exchange-traded fund (ETF) that could prove ideal if the U.S. economy contracts in earnest.
