Dividend Portfolio – New Portfolio from eResearch

New portfolio with a focus being on providing an attractive income return

eResearch | We have created a portfolio of quality dividend-paying stocks with the focus being on providing an attractive income return.

The Dividend-Income Portfolio has a long-term perspective. It comprises essentially a Buy-and-Hold strategy, with minimal trading.

The initial investment will be a total of $500,000. It is intended that each of the stocks in the Portfolio will have an equal weighting.

The initial Portfolio is presented below. We will provide our first report in two weeks time.
