Course Description

Both the low-interest-rate environment and dividend cuts are making it seem impossible to have sustainable investment income. Or is it?  Susan is proud to host Lewis Johnson who will share his view of how to select companies that are better bets for sustainable dividends, and also how to better understand the bond market to harness volatility for profit.  Lewis comes to us with 20+ years’ experience of in-depth insight into the capital markets as the Co-Chief Investment Officer at Capital Wealth Advisors and years spent at both Louis Dreyfus and Pequot Capital.

This course is for both those who specialize in asset management and those who just want to learn more for themselves or their clients. Retirees are especially worried about income as they see the value of their investment portfolio shrink.  This course will help you shed some sunshine on what seems to be a dark financial time.

Course Objectives:


  • Learn from an expert on how to preserve income in a challenging market

  • Dividend cuts are happening fast and furious: Ascertain how to differentiate between companies that can sustain their dividends and those that may falter

  • Understand how to use volatility to enhance bond income
