☆ Matt Quinlan's high-dividend stock funds hold more than $20 billion in investor assets. The Franklin Templeton vet told us where he finds innovators that can deliver big returns.

Historically, big dividend payments have been associated with just a couple of stock market sectors. Franklin Templeton fund manager Matt Quinlan says that's changed in recent years. But inflation and interest rates were extremely low during that period, and it seemed like the growth and spending could go on forever. In a market like today's that's defined by higher interest rates and inflation, which erode returns over time, a solid dividend yield can give buyers a real leg up. He's also run its $24.3 billion Rising Dividends Fund for three years, and its results have been particularly strong across his tenure.

TD Ameritrade's Shawn Cruz believes that there's a good chance the market has already bottomed.

But if the central bank remains hawkish and keeps rates high next year, Cruz believes that this would potentially send equities plummeting towards a new market bottom. "The semiconductor space throughout this year has been divergent, where they're buying some and selling others or vice versa."
