Rising Dividend Growth Portfolio

Montello Wealth Management is proud to present the Rising Dividend Portfolio. This consumer driven portfolio

consists of 25 high quality dividend yielding stocks that serve conservative investors who seek above average current

income with relatively modest market risk. The portfolio invests within defensive sectors such as Consumer Goods,

REITS, Energy, MLPs, Healthcare, Telecom and Utilities.

These companies supply products and services most consumers use on a daily basis such as Food, Housing, Utilities,

Telephones, Cable, Health care products and Clothing.

Many of the companies in the Rising Dividend Portfolio have been paying dividends for more than 100 years and some

of these well known companies have been increasing their dividend each and every year for over 25 years.

Portfolio Manager Insights: We constructed the Rising Dividend Portfolio using companies from historically defensive sectors. We seek companies that demonstrate a strong balance sheet, growing cash flows, superior financial strength and who plan to continue to raise dividends for their shareholders. Among companies that meet these criteria, we purchase stocks that are attractively priced. The result is a well diversified portfolio with a significantly higher dividend yield than the overall market. The portfolio specifically excludes non-dividend paying companies and will remove a company from the portfolio if the underlying fundamentals change. For years we have emphasized the importance of dividends in a portfolio for those contemplating or beginning retirement. Dividends are essential for those who are withdrawing from their retirement account or planning a sustainable non-accumulation strategy. This is particularly true now with interest rates so low that bond yields offer little income opportunities.

We are quite proud of the results achieved in the Rising Dividend Portfolio What are the Risks? Value securities may not increase in price as anticipated or may decline

Further in value. While smaller and midsized companies may offer substantial Opportunities for capital growth, they involve heightened risk and should be considered speculative.
