The volatility fueled by the coronavirus outbreak is reminiscent of prior periods of market stress in which investors worried that dividend-paying companies would decrease or suspend their payments. Although 2020 could prove to be the most challenging year for dividend payers since the financial crisis, the sector make-up and impact of dividend cuts should be different. Additionally, many companies appear financially healthy and therefore able to maintain, increase or initiate dividends, despite the uncertainty. Our outlook for dividend sustainability is thus cautiously optimistic.

Don’t be surprised, however, if markets drop suddenly and test or breach previous lows several times over the next few weeks or months. Much like flying through a thunderstorm, there are likely to be some bumpy times ahead. No matter how many times you have flown, your heart jumps every time the aircraft drops. Fortunately, there is no need to time the bottom for long-term investors.

Behavioral Advisor Perspectives and Practices: Stay Invested Through the Rocky Bottom
One of the biggest challenges for investors is staying invested as markets sell off. Every up and down swing creates strong emotional reactions and constant second guessing. Periods of high volatility can last for weeks or months and are emotionally draining. While it may feel like you are doing nothing by staying invested during these periods, you are likely avoiding costly mistakes by not compounding an already difficult situation.
