Allianz RCM European Equity Dividend

Reasons why...Click below for more details.

Specifically designed to provide income and capital returns within the current environment
The fund management team aims to invest in the highest quality companies in Europe, delivering both long term capital growth and, in addition, a relatively high, sustainable, inflation-beating dividend yield going forward. 

Better protection against higher inflation with equity income

At a time when inflation trends are rising, we believe that equity provide better protection against inflation than bonds, which are more vulnerable in a high-inflation environment. European equity markets currently offer attractive opportunities in our opinion and this fund is able to offer investors the potential to benefit from a combination of both high dividend yields plus potential capital gains from an equity portfolio.

Equities can provide a reliable source of income

Dividends, with their ability to generate high and regular returns, are more important than ever. The fund aims to generate a sustainable level of income by investing in quality European companies with proven dividend records, backed by strong and stable cash flows.

Diversify your portfolio away from bonds

While bonds have a place in any well-balanced portfolio, there are also compelling reasons to invest in equities: dividends from European equities are currently higher than bond yields; share dividends can increase, generating a rising income, while bonds typically pay only a fixed rate of interest; the potential capital gain on equities is, in theory, unlimited, but bonds only repay the original amount invested at maturity.
