I received an email today announcing a new CopyPortfolio from eToro. This time their focus is on Dividend Growth and the minimum investment is US$2,000. The eToro platform already has two dividend ETF’s available, $DGRO which is the iShares Core Dividend Growth ETF and $HDV which is the iShares Core High Dividend ETF.
Both of these can be accessed for as little as $200 providing a smaller investment threshold and I will do another post to look at what’s different between this CopyPortfolio and DGRO. An interesting addition though and it’s always good to see more options available.
Dividend investing is a powerful investment strategy that has the potential to provide investors with two sources of return: Capital gains and regular dividend payments.
To help long-term investors capitalise on the power of dividends, eToro has created the DividendGrowth CopyPortfolio. The Portfolio comprises high-quality, dividend paying companies that have paid increasing dividends for at least 20 consecutive years. In addition, the portfolio is screened and optimised to create a final allocation of the top 40 assets.
The optimisation is based on the following attributes:
- Market cap – looking for solid companies
- Beta – low market volatility
- 5-year dividend growth average – looking at consistency over the medium term
- Previous year dividend yield – short-term dividend performance
The filtering of companies is done to minimise risk and ensure a strong, stable portfolio with a positive dividend outlook.
To gain exposure to ongoing income and capital gains potential, checkout the DividendGrowth portfolio.
