Elite Dividend is Ideal for Bucket 3-A Rising income stream will be significant in 15 - 25 years Capital appreciation likely over 15 - 25 years Tax efficient Higher quality, lower volatility portfolio helps clients stay the course as “owners”
Current Portfolio Yield – Approx. 2.6% Current holdings have increased dividends at an average rate of over 14% annually for last five years. • Assuming this rate continues • Based on original capital investment, yield will be > 6% in 7 years > 16% in 14 years > 40% in 21 years
Even if Stock Prices Failed to Appreciate Over 20 Years….. Dividend income may be high enough to replace buckets 1B & 2 without having to sell bucket 3 holdings. In reality, if dividends increase at these rates over 15 - 25 years, it is highly likely capital appreciation will also occur.
Proactive Risk Control In addition to the inherent defensive nature of the Elite Dividend Portfolio; we employ risk control measures based quantitative trend indicators. Our goal is to identify the times to be fully invested, or when to raise cash (typically not more than 25% in Elite Dividend Portfolio).
Summary We believe the Elite Dividend Portfolio is ideal for a portion of Bucket 3-A of the Bucket Strategy. Your goal as an advisor is to have the client stay the course so your bucket strategy plan will work. Clients understand the concept of more money to spend each year – and will view their portfolio as “owners”, not “traders”
