4 Factor Dividend Growth Strategy Remains Ahead Of Its Benchmark
The 4-Factor Dividend Growth Portfolio, a rules-based alternative to SCHD, targets high-quality, growth-oriented dividend stocks using four equally weighted metrics. Since inception, the strategy has delivered a 14.17% annualized return, maintaining a 2.12% annualized outperformance over SCHD despite recent SCHD momentum. The portfolio emphasizes strong free cash flow, robust dividend growth, high return on invested capital, and above-average yields, with low monthly turnover.
