Growth & Income Portfolio: Rising Dividends Strategy
This portfolio seeks to achieve a greater return than the S&P 500 over a complete market cycle while experiencing below average volatility. This fundamentally driven strategy targets companies that either have a dividend yield above the S&P 500 or a historical bias of dividend growth and payout consistency. We believe that (a) the annual growth in the dividends will significantly outpace inflation and (b) stocks of dividend growers also have more potential to appreciate in price.

Our portfolio seeks to achieve a greater return than the S&P 500 over a complete market cycle while experiencing below average volatility. The portfolio expects to accomplish this by utilizing a sector rotation strategy which evaluates the 11 primary sectors of the S&P 500 and then invests in those sectors deemed to have the greatest opportunity. There is a maximum of 25% in any one sector at the time of any rebalance. The portfolio will invest in securities that are liquid and readily tradeable on a daily basis.
