The threat of higher dividend taxes may loom, but Eaton Vance's [profile] Judith Saryan is staying the dividend-focused course. Johanna Bennett of Barron's interviewed Saryan, who PMs the four-star, $943.0-million Eaton Vance Tax-Managed Global Dividend Income Fund.

"It's a buying opportunity right now," Saryan said of the recent decline in dividend-paying stock's prices. "Despite near-term uncertainty about tax rates, dividend-paying stocks remain a great place to be long term, particularly in an environment where we expect low economic growth."

Saryan offered up some of her current stock picks and favored sectors.
