DAC Insights: Growth Of Capital And Growth Of Income
Dividend Assets Capital (“DAC”) was built on a pioneering, 40+ year legacy of dividend growth investing that we call the 3-D process… “Double-digit, Dividend Growth for a Decade or More”. We believe companies that declare dividends and increase those dividends substantially and consistently, year after year, tend to perform uncommonly well for reasons beyond dividends alone.
Over the years, we have mastered the process of combining high quality companies paying sustainable and growing dividends into portfolios that provide at least two significant benefits for investors… long-term capital appreciation AND portfolio income appreciation. Most conversations about portfolio results focus on total return. We believe that growth of portfolio income is an equally important investment outcome, but it is underappreciated and often simply overlooked. Examining results from the DAC Equity strategy over the last decade demonstrates how both outcomes can be achieved from a single investment strategy. The mountain chart below illustrates how a $500,000 investment in the representative DAC Equity portfolio on 12/31/2014 grew to $1,316,525 ($1,259,771 net of DAC’s management fee) over 10 years. The bar chart shows how the annual portfolio income grew from $8,687 to $24,817 over that same period… an average annual growth rate of 11.6%.

Historical performance results generally do not reflect the deduction of transaction and/or custodial charges. The “Pure Gross of Fees” performance results shown in this hypothetical illustration are calculated gross of all fees . The “Net of Fees” value reflects the deduction of DAC’s investment management fee charged to the “Representative Portfolio” for the DAC Equity strategy composite (.45% (45 Bps) annually). The inclusion of transaction, custodial and/oradvisory fees aswell asother expenses will reduceactual returns.
