USCF’s Love On The Compounding Benefits Of Dividends


John Love, CFA, President & Chief Executive Officer at USCF, Luan Jenifer, President & CEO, Miller/Howard Investments and John E. Leslie III, CFA, Portfolio Manager at Miller/Howard Investments discuss income strategies for wealth building and retirement. 

While younger investors are encouraged to take greater risk with their investment selection, Miller/Howard makes the case for allocating to dividend stocks at an early age. Citing the benefits of time, compounding and diversification, a small investment in dividend stocks can lead to long-term wealth creation.  Dividend investing can also be largely beneficial for those planning or in retirement and offers a consistent stream of income for investors to withdraw or reinvest. In times of down-markets, high yielding dividends have delivered downside protection when held over long periods of time. Leslie and Jenifer weigh in on the benefits of an active versus passive dividend strategy.

High income can either be used to fund current needs or, when reinvested, to drive the mathematics of compounding to grow the investor’s wealth over time. Dividend growth reflects current and future prospects for a company. Financial strength suggests that a company can continually pay and increase its dividends regardless of market cycles. Whether you’re in the saving or spending stage of life, we see many benefits to a high dividend yield approach.
