Are you looking for solid returns with low risk in your portfolio this year? Of course you are. And investment pros have just the thing for you: dividend-paying stocks. Dividend growth, estimated by FactSet at 10.5 percent for the S&P 500 for 2014, is expected to be slightly less robust in the coming year, at 8 percent, according to John Butters, senior earnings analyst. Still, there are sectors and stocks that fund managers expect to shine, generating double-digit total returns thanks in large part to their dividends.
Josh Peters, director of equity income strategy at Morningstar, is wary of REITs and utilities, for the most part. He does, however, like Public Service Enterprise Group, the New Jersey utility, and the company's shift toward the steady, regulated part of the business, as opposed to wholesale generation. "My only qualm is valuation, and it's certainly not unique to them" among utilities, Peters said. Nonetheless, he plans to hang on to the stock. Peters also likes and holds some big multinationals, such as General Electric. Coca-Cola is another global player Peters is somewhat bullish on.
