Dividend Growth

Strategy highlights
  • Core equity investment: By investing in high-quality companies committed to sustainable and growing dividends, the portfolio may be a compelling starting point for an investor’s equity allocation
  • Differentiated approach: The portfolio owns fundamentally attractive but often overlooked dividend-paying companies with a broad range of yields, including those initiating dividends, driving enhanced diversification potential
  • Risk and reward balance: A disciplined focus has led to a long-term track record of managing risk and delivering competitive returns

Strategy description

Dividend Growth is a broadly-diversified portfolio of mid- to large-capitalization equities that seeks to invest in well-run companies that exhibit a commitment to sustainable and growing dividends. The portfolio’s total return approach results in a broad range of yields, including those initiating dividends, driving enhanced diversification potential.

Investment process

The investment team utilizes bottom up, fundamental analysis to identify high-quality companies that are well-positioned to grow their dividend over time. Companies are evaluated based on their balance sheet strength, earnings growth, return on equity, quality of management and their commitment to returning cash to shareholders.

Literature and resources

A separately managed account (SMA) is a private portfolio of actively managed, individual securities that may be customized to achieve an individual investor's unique objectives.

SMA accounts typically require a minimum investment of $100,000 for equity and asset allocation strategies and $350,000 for fixed income strategies, although the specific minimum account size varies by program and may be subject to change. The manager may waive these minimums based on client type, asset class, pre-existing relationship with client and other factors. For certain accounts, a negotiated minimum annual fee applies. Please consult with your Nuveen Advisor Consultant for applicable minimums.

Important information on risk

All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Equity investments are subject to market risk or the risk that stocks will decline in response to such factors as adverse company news or industry developments or a general economic decline. A focus on dividend-paying securities presents the risks of greater exposure to certain economic sectors rather than the broad equity market (sector or concentration risk). Foreign investments involve additional risks. The strategy’s potential investment in non-U.S. stocks presents risks such as political risk, exchange rate risk, lack of liquidity and inflationary risk, economic change, social unrest, changes in government relations, and different accounting standards. This strategy may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs do not eliminate the currency and economic risks for the underlying shares in another country. Dividends are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. A portfolio's investment in dividend-paying stocks could cause the portfolio to underperform similar portfolios that invest without consideration of a company's track record of paying dividends. Stocks of companies with a history of paying dividends may not participate in a broad market advance to the same degree as most other stocks, and a sharp rise in interest rates or economic downturn could cause a company to unexpectedly reduce or eliminate its dividend. Dividend yield is one component of performance and should not be the only consideration for investment.
