  • Diversified Stock Income Plan List
    w March 26, 2021 Joseph E. Buffa, Equity Sector Analyst Jack Russo, CFA, Equity Sector Analyst Advice & Research Diversified Stock Income Plan List Investment Rationales Diversified Stock Income Plan Overview The DSIP List (Diversified Stock Income Plan List) focuses on companies that we believe will provide consistent annual dividend growth over a long-term investment horizon. Our objective is to provide a broad list of high quality, industry leading companies from which an investor can assemble a well-diversified portfolio. Through consistent dividend growth, our goal is to help investors stay ahead of the wealth eroding effects of inflation. The DSIP List is a varied bunch. Our recommendations span each of the market sectors, range in market capitalization from about $3 billion to over $1 trillion, yield anywhere from below 1% to over 7%, and sell everything from lumber to electricity to pharmaceuticals. This is, of course, by design – remember the “D” in DSIP stands for Diversified. The rationale for recommending any one of them is similarly diverse – some have lots of stuff going on, some not so much; some look very compelling from a valuation perspective, some less so; some grow quickly, others slowly. The unifying theme that encompasses each and every one of the names on the list, however, is that we believe each can provide a reliable, steadily- growing stream of dividend income over a long-term investment horizon. Over time, we believe the company’s value will reflect the growth of the dividends it generates for its owners. All financial data as of March 25, 2021 and sourced from FactSet and Wells Fargo Advisors.
