Blueprint Investment Partners CEO and Co-Founder Jon Robinson joined a panel discussion to discuss navigating the challenges of a low yield environment.

The panelists spoke about the importance of knowing what you’re buying. Many investors are forced into looking for “the cleanest, dirty shirt.”

Put another way: Sure, that shirt may be dirty with a slight foul odor, but relative to the other shirts in the closet, a second look (and smell) reveals that it may just be your best option.

Jon broke down the three macro choices available to investors, touching on the implications of each approach:

• rather than #fixedincome, shift to a portfolio of high-dividend #stocks
• maintain status quo, and accept a lower yield
• increase risk in the search for additional yield
