Trailer: The dividend doctor gives his prescription for income investing in 2023
Dividend-paying equities have long formed the backbone of retirees’ portfolios. And the historic stalwarts of these portfolios are well known. BHP, Telstra, and Commonwealth Bank, to name a few.

But you’d be wrong on both accounts, according to the upcoming guest. Dr Don Hamson is the founder and managing director of Plato Investment Management. Don explains why dividend-paying equities are still the best place to generate income, what makes a dividend sustainable, how to identify dividend traps, and which sectors and stocks have the brightest dividend outlook. He also names the dividend darlings that no longer deserve the title!
