Buying Stocks Like A Bond Investor |
Forbes.com - July 22, 2011 - By Steve Schaefer
Attracted to a stock with a fat dividend yield, but not so sure about the underlying company? Think about whether you would invest in the company’s debt.
Plenty of people are talking about dividends these days, for a wide variety of reasons, ranging from worries about inflation to the slim yields on U.S. Treasury notes and beyond. It’s something of a “tortoise and the hare,” strategy says Dan Genter, CEO and CIO of RNC Genter Capital Management, which manages over $3.5 billion. For an equity-oriented generation that won’t be content to sit in portfolios limited to bonds, high dividend payers with ironclad balance sheets make for an agreeable alternative.
RNC’s standalone Maximum Income Strategy is now in its seventh year and has seen tremendous interest from clients, Genter says, and at the heart of the strategy is finding “stocks that look like bonds.”
Doing so delivers a level of predictable income, rather than relying on what the market does, for investors that typically have about two-thirds of their portfolio in bonds and are looking for cash flow from their equity slice, Genter says. Clients “want to reduce their risk profile, and smooth out returns; getting 4% cash flow does that, and usually big dividend payers have lower volatility.”
With big dividend payers, “you’re getting predictable cash flow that exceeds a 10-year Treasury out of the box.” Genter continues. The goal is to capture the bulk of moves higher – ceding the upper echelon to faster-moving stocks and high-fliers – but protect against a large portion of the downside by being assured (or at least promised) an income stream, it’s a win.
