Responsible and dependable growth
We aim to deliver a dependable income and real growth in capital over the longterm by investing in responsible companies.
We believe the best way to do this is to invest in firms which can pay dependable dividends across the cycle, with the prospect of real profit growth, which will in turn lead to growth in dividends and capital.
These are rare and highly attractive to clients seeking income today and well into the future.
What do we mean by responsible? Beyond the exclusion of sin sectors, we mean investing in companies that are trying to address environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues and future-proofing their business.
A carefully selected portfolio
Our portfolio is a collection of carefully selected dividend-paying companies with attractive growth prospects.
Their sustainable earnings growth have the potential to support real growth in dividends, and they typically have resilient business models
Our strategy is managed with a growth mindset and a lengthy time horizon, focusing on dividend growth, not short-term yield.
Long-term dividend compounders are the unsung heroes of the market
