eResearch | We have created a portfolio of high-payout common stocks that is focused primarily on attractive dividend yields but with some capital growth potential.
NOTE: The Top-Ten Dividend Yield Portfolio is designed with a longer-term perspective. As such, we will update it every two weeks, using Friday’s closing prices. Essentially, it will be a Buy-and-Hold portfolio, with minimal trading involved. The Portfolio will be appropriately invested but, if circumstances warrant, there could be a sizable cash component. The Portfolio was initiated on June 1, 2021, with a full complement of ten stocks. The initial investment, at inception, was $500,000.
TODAY’S COMMENT: The value of the Portfolio on June 11 was $516,655, representing a gain of 3.3%. For comparative purposes, the S&P/TSX Composite Index gained 2.1% in the same period.
The portfolio is presented below.
DIVIDEND INCOME/YIELD
Below, we provide a table that indicates the annual dividend, the corresponding annual income and equity yields, and the dividend pay-outs to date since inception (none to date).
