You’ve probably heard the killer dividend pitch plenty of late: “Hey, you can get a higher yield on quality blue chips than on the 10-year Treasury.” In fact, classic dividend-payers such as utilities and telecoms have yields double the 1.99 percent payout on the Treasury note.
Getting all wide-eyed over a stock’s dividend yield, however, misses the bigger picture. “What you are getting paid today in a dividend is not what’s important,” notes George Fraise, manager of the $2.7 trillion Sustainable Growth Advisers, sub-adviser for the John Hancock U.S. Global Leaders fund. “The key to dividend investing is to focus on companies that will be able to grow that dividend payout over time.”
