Hello All,
Very happy to join the DGF community...there aren't too many places like this online. Coming from Australia where we have a dividend imputation system (whereby tax credits are attached to dividends for tax paid by the company - so no double taxation occurs in the hands of the shareholder) a very strong dividend culture exists with pretty high pay out ratios. Now, obviously there are pro's and cons to this. Regardless, I am very much a dividend growth investor with a focus on strong balance sheet, a history of paying rising dividends, management's capital allocation and taking a very long term view to investing.
I invest for our family trust and family superannuation funds and hold a reasonably diverse portfolio of Australian stocks and some US compounder stocks (BRKB,MKL,Y) and have recently established a position in JNJ. I will be continuing to accumulate US and International stocks in these accounts and have a pretty good watchlist for that purpose! (I missed PM recently and close to opening a position in CVX)
I look forward to participating
