Federated Investors - Second Quarter Dividend Commentary

Posted by Michael J. O'Connor | CWS®, Vice President Investments
July 17, 2013


Federated Investors reviews the economy and their Strategic Value Dividend strategy during the second quarter of 2013.

The latter debate, initially stirred by Chairman Ben Bernanke in his May 22 congressional testimony and again by his comments after this month’s two-day policymakers’ meeting - in which he said tapering could begin as soon as September - caused longer term Treasury rates to spike and risk assets to sell off."
