Global Income Growth

Long-term dividend compounding is the eighth wonder of the world.  

We focus on companies that can compound earnings and dividends effectively over long periods. These are rare but can deliver attractive returns.

For a lifetime of income, choose growth

Whether you require an income today and for years to come or are simply looking for attractive capital growth and total returns over the long term, dividend growth investing might be what you’re looking for. 

Global Income Growth Q3 update

The Global Income Growth Team reflects on recent performance, portfolio changes and market developments.

A truly long-term approach

We aim to deliver a dependable income and real growth in dividends and capital over the long term. 

We believe the best way to meet these objectives is to invest in companies that can pay dependable dividends across the cycle and have the prospect of real growth in profits, which will, in turn, lead to growth in dividends and capital.  

Such companies are rare and highly attractive to a client who needs income today and is also seeking capital appreciation well into the future. 

Resilient and dependable dividends

Our portfolio is a selection of carefully selected dividend-paying companies with attractive growth prospects and resilient businesses.

The strategy is managed with a growth mindset and a lengthy investment time horizon. We focus on dividend growth, not short-term yield.

The companies we hold support real growth in dividends, and they typically have resilient business models that provide stability at times of market volatility.

With many investors fixated on the short-term, our long-term focus gives us the opportunity to invest into mispriced dividend-growing companies.
