Dividend Plus
Back to StrategiesInvestment Objective
To build a portfolio of high-quality dividend paying value stocks, while minimizing overall large cap volatility and delivering constant dividend cashflows.
Portfolio Philosophy
We believe a fundamental perspective paired with quantitative execution will result in long-term outperformance based on overall risk to reward compared to the benchmark.
- Active Stock Selection – Invest only in companies who continue to grow free cash flow and dividends over time, and that also exhibit favorable overall attributes such as low Price to Book, Price to Earnings and Price to Free Cash Flow relative to peers.
- Risk Management – Provide investors constant domestic equity exposure and a current income yield, while adhering to strict portfolio mandates regarding valuation.
- Consistency – Aim to provide investors long term growth with the knowledge that their portfolio attempts to invest exclusively in high quality companies that have demonstrated a
consistent history with raising dividends and growing free cash while focusing on the future.
