Tactical Dividend Investing
Tactical Dividend Investing is an approach to dividend investing that involves actively making investment decisions based on short-term market conditions and dividend opportunities.
Understanding Tactical Dividend Investing
Tactical Dividend Investing is an approach we use to enhance our portfolio returns while managing risk.
At its core, Tactical Dividend Investing involves actively shifting our investments to different dividend-paying assets based on market conditions, rather than sticking with a static allocation. We focus on companies that not only have a history of paying dividends but are also capable of sustaining and increasing their payouts over time.
Key Components of Tactical Dividend Investing:
- Dividend Yield: The annual dividend payment divided by the stock’s price.
- Dividend Growth: The annual increase in the dividend payout.
- Dividend Sustainability: The likelihood that a company will continue to pay and potentially increase its dividend.
We also consider the economic environment and sector performances to inform our decisions. For example, in times of economic uncertainty, we might tilt our portfolio towards stocks in sectors known for dividend stability.
Market Condition | Strategy Action |
---|---|
Bull Market | Increase exposure to high-dividend growth stocks |
Bear Market | Shift to stocks with high dividend yields |
Economic Downturn | Focus on industries with dividend stability |
Through this deliberate reallocation, we aim to capture opportunities for income and potential capital gains across different market cycles without deviating from our overarching investment philosophy.
Our goal is not just to seek high yields but to also maintain a level of capital appreciation over time by being flexible and responsive to market dynamics.
