Frequently Asked Questions

Last updated by BM on April 15, 2021

Here are some answers to questions we often receive.

What’s your investing philosophy?

Our investing philosophy is quite simple: We buy quality individual dividend growth stocks when they are sensibly priced and hold for the growing income.

We strive to:

  1. Build a sustainable and rising dividend income stream that beats inflation. We seek to achieve this goal by creating and maintaining a concentrated portfolio of dividend growth stocks.
  2. Preserve and grow our capital by attaining an above-average total return on our investments. We seek to achieve this goal by purchasing the stocks of high-quality dividend growth companies at attractive valuations.
  3. Provide ideas for fellow Dividend Growth Investing (DGI) practitioners, especially those new to the strategy.

What are your favorite Canadian dividend growth investing (DGI) stocks?

The stocks on the website under ‘The List’ are our favorite Canadian dividend growth stocks.  

Why just Canadian stocks?

We felt that we could add more value to Canadian investors by focusing solely on Canadian dividend growth stocks in this blog. We use the same process to invest in the United States and other foreign markets. 

Do you own the stocks on ‘The List’?

Yes, I own some of the stocks on ‘The List’.

Do you plan on offering a service to help those new to dividend growth investing build their own DGI portfolios?
