These dividend-paying companies may offer good value

Summary

• Ketterer factors dividends into her investment process.
• Some of the highest-yielding stocks in her portfolio include TORM, Gerdau, Golden Ocean, British American Tobacco and United Microelectronics.

Investing in companies that pay dividends while prices are down is one way investors can hedge their portfolios against inflation and other headwinds. While there is always a risk of the dividend being cut, historically, dividend-paying companies have been found to be less erratic in choppy market conditions and continue to provide a better overall return compared to stocks that do not distribute dividends to investors.
