  Are Dividend Investors Heading Into a Perfect Storm? Corgi's Chief Investment Strategist Explains

  Sep 21, 202641 min

  Are dividend investors heading into a perfect storm, or a golden opportunity?That’s the question we’re tackling in this episode of Dividend Stockpile.I’m joined by Jeff Weniger, Chief Investment Strategist at Corgi Invest, to take a big-picture look at the economy and markets and, more importantly, what all of it could mean for dividend and income investors.We discuss interest rates, inflation, government debt, oil and energy, the U.S. consumer, the K-shaped economy, and the potential rotation from growth and AI stocks toward value and dividend-paying companies.With fixed-income yields significantly higher than they were just a few years ago, dividend investors also have more choices when it comes to generating portfolio income. So where are the opportunities and where are the risks?In this interview, we discuss:- The current U.S. economic and market environment from a dividend investor's perspective- The risks investors may be underestimating- Inflation, interest rates and government debt- How higher fixed-income yields change the opportunity for dividend stocks- The current oil and energy environment- How dividend investors can position for higher or lower oil prices- The health of the U.S. consumer- The impact of the K-shaped economy on different sectors- Why companies like PepsiCo, Campbell's and Target are facing challenges- Recent dividend cuts and weaker forecasts from consumer companies- Whether consumer defensive stocks face a longer-term headwind- The potential rotation from AI and big tech toward value and dividend stocks- Whether the recent strength in dividend ETFs like SCHD could become a longer-term trend- What dividend investors might wish they owned more—or less—of five years from nowThis is a wide-ranging conversation about the macro forces that income investors need to be watching right now.

  The New Way to Play the AI Power Boom (PWRX Analysis)

  Sep 18, 202619 min

  AI may be driving the next wave of technology growth—but all of that AI requires something very basic: power.In this episode of Dividend Stockpile, I’m joined by Parag Sanghani, Senior Vice President and Senior Portfolio Manager at Westwood ETFs, to discuss the brand new Westwood Salient Enhanced Power & Infrastructure ETF (PWRX).PWRX is designed to invest in companies positioned to benefit from accelerating power demand driven by AI, manufacturing onshoring, electrification, and next-generation technologies. But unlike a traditional energy ETF, PWRX takes a broader approach across the power and energy ecosystem while also using an options overlay and dividends to pursue income.We discuss:- The investment thesis behind the new PWRX ETF- Why Westwood believes now is the right time to invest in power infrastructure- Why PWRX focuses on the companies powering AI rather than directly investing in AI technology- The growing electricity demand from AI and data centers- AI, onshoring, electrification and next-generation technology as long-term growth drivers- How PWRX provides exposure across the broader energy and power value chain- Fuels, power generation, utilities, grid infrastructure, industrials and renewables- How Westwood's deep energy-investing experience influences the portfolio- Examples of the types of companies PWRX can invest in- How the options overlay works and where options are used in the portfolio- The role of dividends and options premiums in generating potential income- The expected distribution frequency and yield- Where PWRX fits within Westwood's broader ETF lineupThe combination of AI-driven power demand, infrastructure investment and options income makes PWRX an interesting new approach to the growing power and energy opportunity.But as with any thematic investment, investors need to understand the risks, sector concentration, options strategy and potential trade-off between income and capital appreciation.
