Behind Our Strategies
“Getting the most of a dividend-driven investment strategy requires looking beyond stocks with the highest yields, which could be a value trap. Additionally, dividend cuts are rarely a one-time phenomenon; dividend increase with sustainable power and long-term record are key.”
Susie Wang
Chief Investment Officer"The market goes up and down over time. Our clients’ dividends are going up every single year. We make sure our clients continue to feel comfortable in a changing world."
Tom Cameron
Retired Chairman"A company must grow its dividend consistently for a decade to be considered for our investment portfolios an must continue to raise its dividend to remain in our investible universe.Long-term performance. Increasing value. Income generation. That's the three-dimensional wealth management."
Jim Haley
Managing Director, Private Client Group"We believe that dividends are the best indicator of the future price performance of a stock. Dividends are paid when there are attractive earnings. When dividends are paid consistently and at an increasing rate over the long-term, this is likely to exert a positive movement of price performance."
