Investors seeking stability in a choppy market should seek out high dividend, low volatility or REIT funds, said Todd Rosenbluth, Director of ETF and Mutual Fund Research for S&P Capital IQ. Rosenbluth added that he is positive on the SPDR S&P Dividend ETF (SDY) which holds companies that have raised dividends each of the last 20 years. He also likes the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility ETF (SPLV) which owns the 100 least risky stocks in the S&P 500. Finally, Rosenbluth is a fan of the Vanguard REIT ETF (VNQ) because it offers a high dividend yield at a very inexpensive cost.
