Investing cash risk-tolerant investors may blend

Risk-tolerant investors may blend investing cash allocations between crypto and blockchain equities for higher diversification alpha. Healthpeak Properties is new to paying monthly dividends, having switched from a quarterly schedule earlier this year. The REIT owns a diversified portfolio of healthcare-related properties, including medical office buildings, laboratories, and senior housing. It leases these properties to healthcare systems, biopharma companies, and physicians' groups under long-term leases that feature annual escalation clauses. “There are high-yield corporate bonds that are low rate, low quality,” says Cheryl Krueger, an investment advisor representative at CGN Advisors in the Chicago area. “I consider those more risky because you have not just the interest rate risk, but the default risk as well.” As of early June 2024, investors holding extra investing cash are eyeing the S&P 500’s steady rise, up 3.2% month-to-date, driven by strong tech earnings. Trading floors note persistent inflows into semiconductor and AI-linked equities, signaling bullish short-term sentiment amid favorable Fed guidance.
