Domestic Dividend

Invests in high-quality companies which pay dividends and are inexpensively priced when compared to their valuation.
Buys high quality, well-managed companies that pay a dividend. Dividends will provide a steady and growing stream of income. Purchases are based on bottom-up fundamental analysis, very focused on valuation. Model primarily large cap domestic.
This model looks for three attributes:

1. Dividends:

The company must pay a dividend with either a yield greater than the market’s or a rapidly growing dividend.

2. Quality:

Quality companies can better weather the inevitable difficult times. They also provide more consistency in their earnings and cash flow. To this model quality means:

- Consistent record of revenue, earnings and dividend growth.
- High (or improving) returns on equity and capital.
- Strong balance sheet.
- A proven management team.
- A sustainable competitive advantage.

3. Valuation:

The stock must be inexpensively priced when compared to earnings, cash flow and assets. In other words, this model invests when good companies go on sale.
30-40 stocks with each stock having a weighting from 2-7% of the model. This model may hold cash as it waits for opportunities. Selling occurs on a stock-specific basis if the stock hits a price target, runs in to other-than-temporary operational problems or can be replaced by a more compelling value.
See above. Sales are based on the stock hitting a price target.
May hold a stock that has cut its dividend.
