1. The Dividend Guy’s Guide to Building a Dividend Portfolio: Kickoff

As a result of leaving my current job, I will be provided with the option to roll my current pension savings into my registered investment account. What happens is the pension provider, Manulife Financial, will send me a package within 4-6 weeks that outlines the procedures and includes all the necessary forms to transfer the money. As of right now, the money will be deposited into my CSA RSP account and I will need to decide where this money will be invested.

This is going to be a perfect opportunity to walk you all through the process that I go through to select my investments. I am going to walk through each step that I take and provide you with full visibility to my decision process.

I am not doing this to tell you how to select stocks. Please do not take this as advice. I am only providing you with the process I go through to manage my portfolio. I would like to hear your feedback on my process along the way. This is a ‘living’ process and must adapt and adjust to ensure it constantly gets better and better. Stay tuned for the first post in the series, “The Dividend Guy’s Guide to Building a Dividend Portfolio”.
