This portfolio was supposed to be “conservative.” Then it shot past the S&P 500
by 1,086% . . .
Dear Zacks.com User,
We set out to develop a portfolio with safe, high-dividend stocks. Our aim was to serve investors who are looking for earnings first and growth second.
So our group of researchers built a predictive model to find picks that meet ten strict hurdles . . .
- Dividend Yield of 5% or greater
- Zacks Rank of #1-3 (Strong Buy, Buy & Hold)
- Zacks Recommendation of either a Buy or Hold
- And 7 other parameters that find the best dividend-yielding stocks.
We tinkered with this new “Zacks Dividend Yield Portfolio” and added refinements. Then we back tested the system to see how it would have performed since 2000.
The results were astonishing.
The dividends were substantial, just as we expected. In fact, they averaged 6.31%, nearly quadrupling the average dividend of the S&P 500’s.
We also expected good growth. But we never imagined that it would be 11 TIMES as strong as the S&P 500 since 2000!
Average annual return for the S&P 500 was only 2.1%. The Zacks Dividend Yield Portfolio averaged 23.2%. The difference in total return was even more dramatic – S&P 500 15.6%, Dividend Yield Portfolio 342.3%.
As the chart below shows, if you invested $10,000 in the S&P 500 during December 1999 and held on through December 2006, you’d inch up to $11,556. At the same time, your investment in Zacks Dividend Yield Portfolio would have swelled to $39,431 . . .
