These long-term stocks with reliable dividends could make all the difference
Investors seeking shelter from extreme market volatility and
searching for inflation protection may still find resilient dividend-paying
stocks to fortify retirement portfolios during tough times, and we have seven
long-term stocks to buy for a robust retirement portfolio up for consideration.
Rising inflation rates, geopolitical risks and the threat of
a global recession are causes for concern for any retirement-focused investment
portfolios.
Honestly, the realities of inflation’s impact on retirement
plans can be somewhat sad. A recent Bloomberg report that about two-thirds of
surveyed people starting retirement in 2022 in the U.K. expect to continue
working (at least part-time) as living costs surge.
Although some cited boredom as a plausible reason to
continue working, only 25% of survey respondents felt very confident that they
have saved enough to fund their retirement.
A deep thought on retirement investing has never been more
important.
Investing in companies with defensive, tried and tested
business models with decent growth prospects, strong management teams,
shareholder-friendly capital return policies and dedication to dividend growth
could help create a formidable and robust retirement portfolio that can survive
bouts of inflation and the usually short-lived recessions.
Retirement can be a very long time; hence some level of
growth will be necessary to maintain the size of that nest egg. Dividend growth
will be important for recurring and regular inflation-adjusted cash flows
during retirement.
Here are seven retirement stocks to consider as long-term
holdings in a robust retirement portfolio.
