Portfolio of Dividend Achievers ETFs Offers Growth and Income
A winning stock portfolio for the long-term investor should meet the
following requirements:
- Contain a variety of stocks that appreciate in price and pay reliable
increasing dividends.
- Be easy to construct, understand and manage.
- Have low sales charges.
- Have low annual operating expenses.
From the thousands of investing alternatives that meet these requirements,
buyside.com has selected three low-fee exchange-traded funds
(ETFs) from PowerShares. Each ETF tracks a corresponding Mergent's
Dividends Achievers index.
- PowerShares Dividend Achievers™ Portfolio
tracks the Broad Dividend Achievers™ Index, the complete list
of domestic companies that have increased their dividends for the last
ten or more consecutive years.
- PowerShares High Yield Equity Dividend Achievers™ Portfolio
tracks the 50 highest paying dividend stocks in the Broad Dividend Achievers™
Index.
- PowerShares International Dividend Achievers™ Portfolio tracks
the International Dividend Achievers™ Index, which includes many
non-U.S. stocks that have increased dividends the last five or more
consecutive years.
You can buy and sell ETFs just like a stock through a full-service or
discount broker. Be sure to select the dividend reinvestment option when
you buy the funds. Dividend reinvestment lets you buy additional shares
with the money from your dividend payments.
