Dividend growth investing allows for versatility in portfolio construction and strategies. Tax considerations, such as the difference between taxable accounts and IRAs, add complexity to investing decisions. I discuss my approach to dividend investing in my Roth IRA and taxable accounts, emphasizing long-term dividend growth in one and maximizing current and future income in the other.

How I Construct My Dividend Growth-Focused Roth IRA Portfolio

For investors seeking momentum, iShares Core High Dividend ETF HDV is probably on the radar. The fund just hit a 52-week high and is up 12% from its 52-week low price of $93.46/share.

Due to its combination of dividend income and dividend growth, in addition to its reduced risk level, HDV aligns with the investment approach of The Dividend Income Accelerator Portfolio. The reduced risk level of HDV is underscored by its Standard Deviation of 11.52, which is significantly below the Median of all ETFs (16.17).

In today's article, I will demonstrate how to strategically distribute the amount of $100,000 across 2 ETFs and 5 individual companies. The portfolio achieves a reduced risk level by minimizing company-specific and sector-specific concentration risks, and by predominantly featuring large-cap value companies.

Strategically Building A $100,000 Dividend Portfolio With Only 2 ETFs And 5 Stocks

iShares Core High Dividend ETF is expected to generate solid returns in 2024. Improving fundamentals in healthcare, energy, and consumer defensive sectors support HDV's share price and dividend returns. Low valuations and a solid financial outlook for portfolio holdings contribute to potential shareholder returns.

HDV Could Be A Solid Dividend-Focused ETF For 2024

HDV ETF has not beaten the market or peers. The portfolio of HDV consists of mature businesses with low revenue and EPS growth. The ETF is expensive relative to its EPS growth with a 2.7x PEG.

Lifelong learning and companionship are key elements of a well-lived life, according to Charlie Munger. Munger's investment in Costco demonstrates the value of finding a company with a reliable business model and sticking with it. Diversification should be achieved through low-cost, passive ETFs rather than individual stocks.

Dividend Investing Like Charlie Munger

iShares Core High Dividend ETF holds 75 high-quality stocks screened by Morningstar's proprietary Wide Moat and Distance To Default rating system. Expenses are low at 0.08%, and the ETF yields 4.15%. HDV's 22% allocation to Energy stocks is a double-edged sword. Top holdings like Exxon Mobil provide excellent inflation and interest rate protection, but energy prices are too difficult to forecast. Without these stocks, the Fund's estimated earnings growth barely breaks even, so strong dividend growth moving forward is not likely.

Financial freedom through passive income from dividends is a hard goal to achieve for most people, but it is a worthy goal to pursue. There are many reasons to choose dividend stocks as a form of passive income instead of other types of assets like bonds or rental properties. I offer a framework of three basic steps to achieve financial freedom via dividend investing.

Dividend investing is struggling in the current macroeconomic environment due to high interest rates. The yield on T-Bonds disincentivizes investors from buying dividend companies, leading to a drop in their performance. Exceptions to this trend include investments with a high dividend yield on cost, undervalued companies with potential for capital gains, and companies with rapid growth in earnings and dividends.

Even if the stock or the fund falls, higher current income would go a long way in protecting investors' total returns.

HDV has a higher starting yield of 4% as well as an annualized dividend growth rate of 5% over the last 5 years. The fund is passively managed, meaning that holdings are rarely ever adjusted. The total return has been lackluster when comparing it against competitor funds. However, the fund has a solid portfolio of blue chip holdings.

Being a dividend growth investor does not require buying low-yielding stocks, nor does being an income-oriented investor require buying high-yield stocks. Ideally, a dividend growth investor's passive income stream should be as safe, large, and fast-growing as possible. Balancing these three is tricky, but very important. I've designed my portfolio like a Medieval galley ship, consisting of strong, high-quality "rower" stocks, calculated higher-risk "sail" stocks, and diversified dividend ETFs to act as the "ballast."

How I'm Building A Monster Dividend Portfolio

iShares Core High Dividend ETF's past performance and potential for future dividend growth make it a good one to consider as inflation falls. Softening inflation is likely to result in a positive real dividend yield soon, which can grow further on margin expansion in some of its biggest constituent stocks. The margin contraction for holdings in big energy stocks is a downer, but the fund's constituents can change, reducing their potential drag on its performance.

To be prepared for a deeper correction, investors should consider adding more healthy value allocations while certainly not ignoring the quality factor. HDV is a dividend-yield-focused vehicle, offering exposure to top-quality, mostly old-economy U.S. stocks. Its value/quality mix is supportive of a Buy rating.

HDV: Tactically Attractive High-Dividend Play

iShares Core High Dividend ETF may not be the best choice for investors looking to generate strong risk-adjusted returns. The difficult conditions for its large number of stock holdings in the healthcare and energy sectors may have a negative impact on its portfolio and share price performance. Investors may look at other dividend ETFs like WisdomTree U.S. Quality Dividend Growth Fund ETF for healthy returns.

HDV: Low Share Price Upside Makes Returns Unattractive

The investment portfolio I am presenting in today's article includes 10 carefully selected dividend growth companies and 10 high dividend yield companies in addition to two ETFs. This portfolio provides you with a Weighted Average Dividend Yield [TTM] of 3.95% and a Weighted Average Dividend Growth Rate 5 Year [CAGR] of 10.08%. In addition to that, the investment portfolio offers extensive diversification over sectors and industries as well as geographical diversification, contributing to reducing its risk level.

Are you looking for a reasonable amount of income without a ton of risk? If so, high-yield ETFs to buy are a better way to go than individual dividend-paying stocks because they give you diversification, which significantly reduces company risk in the process.

The author argues that the combination of Schwab US Dividend Equity ETF, iShares Core High Dividend ETF, Vanguard International High Dividend Yield ETF, and Global X MLP & Energy Infrastructure ETF provides a solid foundation for a dividend portfolio. These ETFs offer diversification across sectors, geographies, yields, growth rates, and types of companies, while mostly avoiding yield traps and high-risk companies. The goal of this strategy is to maximize dividend income and growth, rather than outperforming the S&P 500 in total returns.
