When Looking for Yield, Remember the Three Ps
My thanks to the equity team at RiverFront
for this highly
informative report, certain to be of interest to most investors. Here is
a brief sample:
Dividend Growers Outperform
Stocks that have grown their dividends have historically outperformed over the long term. The equally weighted dividend policy indexes, calculated by Ned Davis Research (NDR), are derived from the component stocks in the S&P 500. Their performance is then plotted relative to an equally weighted version of the S&P 500. Companies that had grown or initiated dividends over each prior 12-month period outperformed the S&P 500 by 33% since 1972. Those that have cut or eliminated their dividends have underperformed by 95%, and non-dividend payers underperformed by 87%.
David Fuller's view Stunning statistics and don't miss the graphics in this report which I commend to you.
