Are Dividend-Growth Stocks a Distinct Asset Class? - Seeking Alpha


I am working on questions of portfolio construction in light of what I have come to accept as the attributes of dividend-growth stocks. The basic issue becomes, how does one meld dividend-growth stocks with the asset allocation principles that have been derived from the teachings of Modern Portfolio Theory? That leads to questions like these:
  • Should one's entire investable retirement assets be placed into a dividend-growth portfolio? (Probably not.)
  • If not, what percentage of retirement assets "should" be devoted to dividend-growth stocks? Does that differ by age, and if so, how?
  • What does “diversification” mean when you are talking about dividend-growth stocks?
  • Do the risk-reducing characteristics of dividend-growth stocks allow you to have a higher allocation to "stocks" than is commonly prescribed?
