The Federal Reserve raised interest rates in September, and another hike is widely expected by the end of the year. The relationship between higher interest rates and stock market returns is complicated, but because higher rates raise the cost of borrowing, they can put downward pressure on equity markets as investors brace for lower corporate earnings. This is certainly a meaningful risk worth monitoring, but there are plenty of stocks that could perform well over the long run regardless of whether the Fed raises interest rates again soon. Four of my holdings fit the bill, in my view, and I intend to keep all four intact well beyond the next interest rate increase. Here are these four stocks: Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Walmart (NASDAQ: WMT), and Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRKA) (NYSE: BRKB). Image source: The Motley Fool.
