Why Dividends, Why Now

Income has always mattered. It still does.

Dividend-paying stocks give investors a source of periodic cash flow while still participating in market growth, a combination that matters as much to foundations and endowments as it does to retirees living off their portfolios.

Dividend-paying stocks have also historically shown more resilience during market downturns than the broader market, an important consideration for investors who depend on their portfolio for steady income and can't simply wait out a prolonged decline.

Dividends carry a tax advantage as well. Qualified dividends are taxed at preferential rates rather than as ordinary income, and dividends held in tax-advantaged accounts like IRAs and 401(k)s can compound tax-free or tax-deferred. Combined with a research-driven, hybrid approach to security selection, that's the case for treating dividend income as a core piece of a portfolio, not an afterthought.
