“The recession is coming! The recession is coming!” While we are currently not in a recession, bank failures, inflation, rising interest rates, and the stock market rapidly changing have caused the recession bells to start ringing. And we’re certain that Paul Revere would be yelling on horseback! Because of the current uncertainties in our economy, many have wondered if they should be investing right now. No investment is recession-proof. However, some tend to perform better than others. Here are three investments you can consider during a recession. HEALTH CARE AND CONSUMER STAPLES These kinds of investments tend to perform well even during a recession because they’re items we use and need regularly.

These are considered “defensive stocks” and are great when experiencing bear markets and recessions.

is your best option. A free stock screener is one of the best ways to find these companies. You want to find businesses with low debt, credibility, strong balance sheets, and positive cash flow. DIVIDEND INVESTMENTS With dividend stocks, every shareholder will receive a portion of the company’s profit, depending on the number of shares you own. Furthermore, while you can use your profit for your own needs, dividend stocks are popular because you can use your earnings and reinvest — if the value of your stock is down, reinvested dividends have fewer risks. When looking for a dividend stock, look for companies that consistently pay or increase dividends. While it can be scary to invest during a recession, it doesn’t have to be — if you know what to look for. Before you invest in anything, it’s vital that you seek assistance from a financial advisor who can help you outline your goals and help you find an investment that will fit your needs.
