13 Companies to build a Dividend Growth Portfolio with 10 years to go
In my latest article, I’ve discussed the metrics I would use to make a selection of dividend paying companies if I had only 10 years to build my portfolio. The idea of using a shorter time horizon was to show how limited you could be if you only select companies that are currently paying an interesting dividend now.

What 10 Years of Data Shows About High Yield and Low Yield Dividend Stocks
Last week, I started some work on the difference between a low yield and high yield portfolio. My first conclusion was that for a limited investment horizon (less than 20 years), the high yield portfolio seems to be the better option. In other words, this is a good rationale for retirees for aiming at companies paying dividend yields over 5%. I was quite surprised to notice that it would take 20 years for the low dividend yield portfolio to compensate with stronger dividend growth to reach the …
