Dividendensteigerung

Investments are made into dividend aristocrats, i.e. companies that continuously increase their dividends. The decisive criterion is that the dividend paid was continuously increased in the last 10 years. The selection of individual assets takes place both across industries and across regions. The focus on dividend aristocrats has the advantage that equities are unvested that might have a high price-earnings ratio but are held at such a high level through continuous price losses. The past shows that the return on invested capital increases annually with dividend aristocrats and that frequently even a price performace can be observed that beats the general market. The dividend payments of at least the last 10 years are used as source for the analysis. The risks of the investment strategy are those of common equity investments. However, dividends aristocrats are almost exclusively assets that have already established themselves in the competition and show a functioning business model. The securities can be kept for several years in this case. Each dividend payment gives grounds for a review of the inclusion criteria of the portfolio. Adjustments can also be made otherwise in order to use short-term price weaknesses for countercyclical entry and thus increase the portfolio performance.
