With interest rates up 4.25% in the space of two years, investors have entered a Goldilocks era for income. But while many retirees live happily off the income generated by some of the market’s dividend stalwarts, there are potential traps out there.

To help ensure you’re investing in companies with sustainable dividend yields, Livewire's Ally Selby was joined by Plato Investment Management’s Peter Gardner and Merlon Capital’s Andrew Fraser for their analysis of three widely owned dividend stalwarts (and for something different, none of these are iron ore miners).

Plus, they also call out two dividend darlings they now regard as traps.
