Our Top Five Stocks for Rising Interest Rates

With interest rates rising for the first time in over four years, many individual investors are heading for the hills.

After all conventional wisdom says that rising interest rates lead to lower valuations and stock prices, and mediocre earnings.

People are scared that the market will continue to suffer, because historically, when rates rise…it does.

“Don’t fight the Fed…”

But in reality…it doesn’t have to be that way. Yes, stocks often do suffer when interest rates rise.

In some sectors.

The trick is finding high quality, exciting, companies in those industries.

Companies that thrive when rates rise.

And when we learn to make the market work for us, opportunities come out of the woodwork. After all, it is a stock pickers market out there.

Because while the market has been volatile and uncertain, targeting particular stocks that thrive with rising interest rates could give you a foolproof way to capture returns and not worry about the market.

In fact, one of the worst things an investor could do would be to fully abandon the market on news of interest rate hikes. So often, investors panic at the sound of higher interest rates, when, in reality, many of the savviest investors make these hikes work for them.

How?

By pinpointing a select few stocks that thrive exactly in markets like this. That’s right, while tech may stumble and blue-chip stocks face an uphill battle, these certain stocks look to take advantage of these rate hikes and pass the potential returns on to the shareholder.

Well that sounds easy enough, right? But here’s the catch: how do you know what stocks to target…and what stocks to leave behind?

And another issue, the sector and industry that thrives during these rare times is often overlooked and frankly…boring.

I mean, who really takes the time to scour the investing history of financial institutions?

That’s where The Motley Fool comes in.

Now, perhaps you’ve heard of us.

After all, we’ve been around for over 25 years, helping the world become smarter, happier, and richer, with some of the best investing advice around. We’ve minted millionaires with our long-term, no-nonsense approach, and uncovered some of the best stock recommendations ever.

I say that because for all the talk about the current market conditions, our team has produced these kinds of winners:

• Recommended on September 9, 2016, Amazon is up 22,587%
• Recommended on December 17, 2004, Netflix is up 30,359%

And keep in mind, these returns include the good times…and the bad.

While these are some of the great stocks The Motley Fool has uncovered for members fortunate enough to follow along, they only represent a fraction of the winners!

What’s more, these types of returns can’t happen unless you stay focused on the long term... so while we’ve discussed how rising interest rates will impact you in the short term…you should not sacrifice your long-term ambitions.
