In the hunt for yield, there has been an increase in activity.

Inflation concerns are increasing and investors have begun to look for alternative income sources. Treasury yields remain relatively low — and some may be worth considering, market analysts say.

Rosenberg, Rosenberg’s senior vice-president and chief exchange-traded fund manager, stated that short-term investments “remove the potential credit risk that longer term inflation-protected securities pose.”

“When you own convertible securities, you get a little bit of a higher yield — granted, it’s not that high — and in addition, you also tend to get a little less volatility as rates start to rise or as inflation comes into play,” he said in the Monday interview.

Rosenberg stated that actively managed ETFs are a great option in an inflation-prone environment, as managers can adapt to volatile periods and produce a greater yield over the long term.

Lydon stated that advisors and investors are moving away from 60-40 stock-bond allocation and towards 70-30, or even 80-20 portfolio allocation, which means alternative income strategies will be more popular.
