Here’s a complete description of each of our portfolio (please note we offer both US and CDN dividend portfolio):
25K
This is an entry level size portfolio for investors looking for both dividend and growth stocks. We start with the idea that most profitable companies and best investments are made with dividend payers. We are also looking at companies that have found a balance between above average growth in the business model while paying healthy distributions. This is also how we combine high yield dividend stocks to increase the portfolio payouts.
100K
The portfolio currently shows 20 positions in different sectors. Since the portfolio includes 20 stocks, the minimum investment suggested in our opinion is 100K. Therefore, you could easily use this portfolio if you have 300K or 500K to invest.
500K Dividend Portfolio
This is our biggest portfolio. It can be used for all portfolios over 500K. We decided not to create a growth or conservative but rather a complete 500K portfolio. In order to make sure we cover both growth and revenue part of a portfolio of that size, we added a few ETFs generating revenues. You can then increase the portion in ETFs if you wish a more conservative portfolio or simply ignore the last few lines and concentrate on the stocks if you seek more growth than revenues.
Retirement Portfolio
We started thinking how we could use DSR investing rules to find higher yielding stocks without compromising our investing process. With additional research, we were able to build a portfolio showing a 4.50-5% yield with a minimum of dividend growth to cover inflation (and more). Therefore, you could use this portfolio with a “4% withdrawing rules” and you should be good to never take money away from your capital. I’ve also avoided investing more than 20% in a specific sector. This ensures a strong diversification to go through any kind of crisis.
We tend to benefit from the timing of performing sectors to improve the overall portfolio return. Dividend growth portfolio series will include more regular updates as we want to make sure to pick all the best buying opportunities. The idea is to keep a core portfolio as a “buy & hold” strategy while benefiting from the dividend growth compounding effect while buying and selling stocks on a timely basis according to what is happening on the market.
