💰Dividend Universe

The dividend stocks I’d buy first if I were starting from scratch. Three categories. Updated as my conviction shifts.

How the universe stacks up against the S&P 500

The universe isn’t just a curated list of dividend stocks. It’s built to outperform the index on the metrics that matter for income investors:

• Higher yield. The portfolio’s blended yield is meaningfully above the 1.10% on the S&P 500, giving more income from every dollar invested.

• Faster dividend growth. The companies in the universe grow their payouts faster than the index average, turning a small advantage today into a much larger one over time.

• Higher quality. Every holding has passed the six-step framework: durable business, real moat, safe dividend, healthy balance sheet.
