Early or rookie investors may find it difficult to choose their first stock to invest in. After all, there are an overwhelming number of choices available. The best strategy is to start with businesses that have strong foundations and a management that ensures a firm growth. As we have analyzed the data from the last round of 13F filings, we determined that some the most popular stocks among hedge funds we track, are companies that not only sport solid dividend yields, but also represent attractive opportunities for long-term investing.
These companies include names like Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) and JPMorgan Chase & Co. (NYSE:JPM) and sport an average dividend yield of 2.85%, but they are mostly held because investors consider they can gain ground over the long-run. At Insider Monkey, we track hedge funds’ moves in order to identify actionable patterns and profit from them. Our research has shown that hedge funds’ large-cap stock picks historically delivered a monthly alpha of six basis points, though these stocks underperformed the S&P 500 Total Return Index by an average of seven basis points per month between 1999 and 2012.
