The case for equity income
Dividend-paying companies may be considered defensive due to their resilience, a quality that becomes apparent, mainly when markets fall or economic growth slows, and inflation rises. In contrast to fixed income, dividends of companies with pricing power or dividends from companies that benefit from inflation more likely to increase dividends, which may make dividend-distributing stocks a relatively favourable investment in an inflationary environment.
Concentrated portfolio that targets dividend payouts
We adopt a highly committed, active-management approach focusing on sustainable returns based on our strict buy and sell discipline. The discipline of our investment process results in a portfolio that typically contains 40 to 70 stocks.
