Boomers relying on dividend stocks for retirement income are facing pressure as the US 10-year government bond yield rises to a new high since 2002. Share prices in high-dividend sectors such as real estate, utilities, and materials have fallen as bond yields become relatively more attractive. Over the past month, the iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond ETF (TLT) attracted a record $3.2 billion in net inflows, while ultra-short-term bond funds also saw nearly $20 billion in inflows in September. Analysts suggest that investors should focus on companies' fundamental earnings growth rather than blindly chasing high dividend yields, and scrutinize dividend ETF strategies, preferring funds that focus on dividend growth rather than simply high yield. For example, the Invesco S&P 500 High Dividend Low Volatility ETF (SPHD) fell by 7.59% in the past month, while the WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund (DGRW) only fell by 0.81% over the same period.
