However, investors were also content to ramp up credit risk, directing more than $1.6 billion into ETFs with underlying bank loans and collateralized loan obligations, or CLOs, State Street found. Big institutional investors can purchase bank loans — which lending institutions make to companies — and benefit from the loans' floating coupon rate. CLOs are similar to bank loans: These are pools of floating rate loans made to businesses, which can be non-investment grade. Bank loans and CLOs tend to have less price sensitivity to changes in rates, meaning they are short duration. "Rate policy is evolving and uncertain, and it's unlikely to be less cloudy as we get into the summer months."

On a summer weekend, mid-heat wave, the promising smell of clean fryer oil drifted through a parking lot in Costa Mesa, Calif. Inside Mercado González, children were on tiptoes, squeaking hands against the glass at El Moro, watching cooks pipe and fry swirls of dough to a precise golden brown, then snip the coils into curved batons and roll them in cinnamon sugar. It was an efficient and beautiful routine. Good churros aren’t hard to find, but El Moro is both a chain and an institution, and before the mercado opened last fall, the only place you could try its famously long, thin, thoroughly crisp-edged versions was in Mexico. A group of teens in front of me, dazzled by a promo video for the churro ice-cream sandwich, workshopped their orders out loud while the line shuffled along.

The prospect of "higher for longer" rates has also made short-term fixed income assets especially attractive. "We had a lot of investors who were in, if not cash, then sub-2-year duration fixed income at the start of the year." Takeaways for investors It doesn't hurt for retail investors to review their fixed income allocation now that the year is halfway over. A combination of fixed income assets may be what it takes to benefit from today's higher rates, lock in yields and capture rising prices once the Fed cuts. "We don't buy that there's one fixed income asset class that you should tilt toward," said Calcagni.

Marcus' yield hike places it in an exclusive group of financial institutions continuing to offer rates in the 5% range on deposits. Citizens Access and Capital One Financial each offer a 1-year CD that yields 5%, while Sallie Mae offers a 5.15% APY. Bread Financial is at the top of the heap, with an APY of 5.25% on a 1-year CD. Indeed, LendingClub recently slashed its 1-year CD APY to 4.2%, reflecting a cut of 95 basis points, Caintic found. For instance, investors may forfeit some interest if they "break" their CD ahead of maturity, which makes these funds less liquid compared to money market funds.

Preferred stocks can offer investors plenty of attractive income – and do so at a favorable tax rate – but they should proceed with caution before adding them to their portfolio. Preferred stocks are hybrid assets, combining attributes of bonds and equities, and their issuers include banks and utilities . He said these securities make up no more than 15% of his clients' fixed income allocation. Preferred investors would be paid before the stockholders, but they are well behind the bondholders in terms of priority. There is also the iShares Preferred and Income Securities ETF (PFF) , which has a 30-day SEC yield of 6.33%.

A select group of stocks might be primed to offer investors an appealing combination of unexpected income and price appreciation, according to Morgan Stanley. Special dividends — one-time payments companies make to shareholders outside of their regular dividend cycle — tend to result in higher share prices, according to Todd Castagno, a strategist at Morgan Stanley. Indeed, companies that have distributed these special dividends have seen their share price beat the market by 4.1% in the six months following the announcement, Morgan Stanley found. That outperformance grows to 7.8% in the 12 months after the special dividend news. To that effect, Castagno's team highlighted a group of "special dividend hopefuls" — companies that seem to have the ability to offer these one-time payments.

Though municipal bonds generally offer income that's free of federal income taxes – and state taxes if the investor resides in the issuing state – they also come with lower yields compared to other bonds. When it comes to muni bonds, the higher your tax bracket, the more valuable the tax-free income is. A tax-conscious approach to fixed income You don't have to bulk up on municipal bonds to get the best yield for your tax scenario. Municipal bonds are good contenders in taxable brokerage accounts, where investors can benefit from their tax-free income. Some fund families offer "tax-aware strategies" either in mutual funds or ETFs, which can include some exposure to municipal bonds, as well as equities.

The timing of cuts from the Federal Reserve is looking uncertain, but fixed income investor Jeffrey Gundlach has a way to play the theme: BB-rated bank loans. Playing the bank loans space The actual bank loans themselves are made by lending institutions to companies. Rather, large institutional investors snap them up and add them to their fixed income portfolios. The Fed's rate policy presents another wrinkle for bank loans: These loans have a floating coupon rate component. Accessibility through ETFs A fixed income sleeve should include exposure to high-quality bonds.

Dividend-paying companies might feel compelled to cut their dividends if they're grappling with a lot of debt, as higher rates raise the cost of leverage for companies.

The stock's rise has been a boon to employees and insiders at the chip company who own shares. So-called RSUs provide workers with shares at a future date following a vesting period of typically three to five years. Employers can also offer incentive stock options, which allow employees to buy a specified number of shares at a stated – or strike – price. Workers who exercise their ISOs are also subject to capital gains taxes when they sell the stock they've purchased. Nonqualified stock options are another form of equity compensation.

"We think the market was ignoring and underappreciating what utilities can accomplish," Travis Miller, energy and utilities strategist for Morningstar, told CNBC. Eric Holcomb announced that Microsoft will be constructing a $1 billion data center in La Porte, Indiana. Another name that is due to see a boost from AI data center growth is WEC Energy. The tech giant already has a data center that is under construction in the area, which is expected to open in 2026. "Microsoft's first data center represents 1,000 [megawatts] of electricity load, or over 10% of WEC's current load in the state," wrote Morningstar analyst Andrew Bischof in May.

Generating income with dividend stocks Dividend stocks have long been a staple of income investors' portfolios. Municipal bonds offer income that's free of federal tax, however. These names trade on exchanges like stocks, and they can offer dividend yields upward of 6%. Options strategies to create income Derivative income funds , such as the JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI), gathered some $22 billion in 2023, according to Morningstar. Further, consider comparison shopping, as all "derivative income" funds have their own quirks and differences in strategies could affect their risk/return profile.

Those highly appreciated positions can change the risk profile of your portfolio, particularly if it's been a long time since you last rebalanced. Managing the tax hit Trimming heavily appreciated positions in a portfolio that's held in a taxable account may come with a capital gains hit. One potential way to mitigate the tax is to use realized losses to offset those capital gains. In a year when losses exceed capital gains, investors can apply up to $3,000 of those losses to offset ordinary income and then carry over the remainder. Normally, these holdings would be the ones subject to the heftiest capital gains taxes if they were sold.

A sector of the stock market beloved by income investors could ride the wave of rising energy consumption over the long run, according to Wells Fargo. After 15 years of relatively flat power demand, Wells Fargo sees a compound annual growth rate of 2.6% through 2030 and 80% growth by 2050. The development bodes well for a group of utilities – and Wells Fargo called out some of its overweight-rated plays on the power trend for the long run. Wells called out the 10-year site plan NextEra subsidiary Florida Power & Light submitted to the state's public service commission. The stock's price "[reflects] a level of optimism," Wells Fargo analysts said, but "we think there is a case for further outperformance."

The 60/40 portfolio isn't dead — in fact, it tends to outperform over the long term, according to UBS. The strategy revolves around a simple balanced portfolio, allocating 60% to stocks and 40% to fixed income. That theory was tested when both equities and fixed income slumped in 2022. Crafting a balanced portfolio Falconio expects the new 60/40 construction to look a little different with the rise in popularity of alternative assets. When it comes to traditional fixed income assets, UBS suggests holding strategic, diversified exposure throughout fixed income.
