The World of Investing is Changing

The world of investing is changing, and many investors are realizing that they may need to also change their ways of investing to succeed.

42%: Investors moving to equity income investments, up from
six months ago

      Although many investors are feeling stuck in place with their investments, others are ready to move on. BlackRock's semi-annual survey found that of those respondents who are making portfolio adjustments, about 42% are moving to equity income investments, up from 34% of investors 6 months prior. Overall, nearly 2/3 of investors agreed that they need to strengthen their understanding of options around investing for income. What's perhaps least surprising in today's low-yield, highly volatile market is that 64% of investors say investing for income has become "riskier" than it was 5 years ago. The world of investing is changing, and many investors are realizing that they may need to also change their ways of investing to succeed.
