[0]
so I've come across a lot of people who
[2]
want to put together a strong dividend
[4]
portfolio now sometimes some
[6]
inexperienced investors I've seen simply
[9]
run a screen for stocks or ETFs that pay
[11]
a dividend and then buy a few with the
[13]
largest dividend and then hope for the
[15]
best or sometimes people will just buy a
[19]
few of let's say the more popular blue
[21]
chip investments and then they assume
[24]
that they're safe because the blue chip
[26]
companies and they'll pay dividends well
[28]
if you'd like to build a great dividend
[30]
portfolio that can provide passive
[33]
income reliably then this video is the
[37]
one for you hi I'm Jimmy Capello

[72]
okay let's get rolling so dividend
[75]
investments are often a popular topic
[77]
especially after the Great Recession in
[79]
oh wait oh nine mostly because stocks
[82]
that pay reliable dividends often bounce
[85]
quicker in troubled times than regular
[88]
stocks do so when I'm trying to put
[90]
together a dividend portfolio I try to
[92]
focus on more than just the dividend
[95]
itself yeah that's the end goal but I
[98]
also want to watch the diversification
[100]
to make sure I can help avoid risk and
[103]
the way I do this is I like to start by
[105]
identifying the goal of the portfolio
[107]
now the goal will depend it'll include
[111]
things like what is the target dividend
[114]
yield what's the target volatility
[116]
what's the time horizon different things
[118]
like that in every situation would make
[120]
the portfolio a bit unique for this
[122]
particular portfolio I'm actually
[124]
building it for a family member now he's
[126]
retired and he's got some money sitting
[128]
in a bank and he'd like to earn more
[130]
than the
[131]
one and a half percent he's currently
[132]
getting he told me that he's gonna he
[134]
wants to target five percent a year in
[136]
dividends and he can withstand a bit of
[139]
market volatility but wants to avoid any
[141]
long-term loss of capital he already has
[145]
a large portfolio of bonds so for this
[147]
particular portfolio I'm going to mostly
[150]
avoid bonds now I'm going to use ETFs
[152]
for this portfolio since it makes
[154]
diversifying much easier first I'm gonna
[157]
start with a large cap dividend ETF
[159]
called the pro shares S&P 500 dividend
[163]
aristocrat CTF the ticker symbols n OBL
[167]
their fee is 35 basis points which is
[170]
about one third of 1% they have 53
[173]
companies in it and these companies are
[176]
some of the biggest companies out there
[177]
companies like Clorox Lowe's Pepsi
[180]
target companies like that in fact the
[183]
average size of the companies in this
[185]
ETF is about 70 billion now what makes
[189]
this ETF valuable from a dividend
[191]
perspective is that it only has
[194]
companies that meet a few very specific
[196]
criteria they must be in the sp500 and
[200]
they have to have grown dividends for at
[202]
least twenty five consecutive years they
[204]
have to the ETF itself has to have a
[206]
minimum of 40 companies in it and
[208]
they're all equally weighted when the
[210]
when the ETF rebalances every quarter no
[213]
single sector can represent more than
[214]
30% of the whole ETF now this plays well
[218]
into our using ETS for diversification
[221]
so NL BL is currently trading at about
[224]
sixty four dollars a share and they have
[226]
a dividend yield of about 2.2 percent so
[229]
I'm a big fan of n o BL but the downside
[232]
of getting such large mature blue chip
[235]
companies is that we're only getting a
[237]
yield of about 2.2 percent so next I
[240]
look for something that could perhaps
[242]
complement it with growth so for that I
[244]
found the WisdomTree us mid cap dividend
[248]
ETF ticker symbol do n well this one is
[253]
a bit different because first off they
[255]
have almost 400 companies in it and the
[258]
ETF focuses mostly on mid cap which in
[261]
theory could add a little bit of growth
[263]
potential but
[265]
unfortunately their dividend yield is
[267]
also only about 2.1 percent now one
[271]
thing that they make a big fuss about
[273]
especially in their marketing material
[275]
is that they claim to be the only ETF
[277]
that is dividend weighted this means
[281]
that the larger the dividend yield the
[283]
larger the piece of the whole portfolio
[285]
that particular company gets compared
[287]
that to most ETF which are usually
[289]
market cap weighted like the S&P 500 or
[292]
equal weighted like Nov L when we just
[294]
saw and I think this is an interesting
[297]
way of doing it but they only rebalance
[301]
annually and to me this is a bit
[302]
confusing because what if something
[305]
happens to a particular company but
[307]
right before the rebalance and the stock
[309]
price falls and therefore because the
[312]
stock price is falling and the dividend
[315]
yield would appear to be much higher so
[317]
they would in theory get a larger piece
[318]
of this portfolio but what if there was
[320]
something fundamentally wrong with that
[322]
company that's why the stock price fell
[323]
well since the only rebalancing annually
[326]
this stock is stuck in the portfolio for
[328]
a whole year I think that could be
[330]
dangerous but on the other hand there's
[334]
over 400 companies in the ETF so even
[338]
the largest waiting isn't that large so
[340]
the effect of any one company could be
[342]
fairly minimal either way I like the
[345]
concept have any exposure to the mid cap
[347]
space in addition to the large cap space
[350]
both of us providing let's say a similar
[352]
dividend and the mid cave's
[354]
cap space generally offers more upside
[357]
potential than large cap space now since
[359]
I don't view these two ETFs as terribly
[361]
different from each other and their
[363]
yields aren't really where I need to get
[366]
them to be to achieve the 5% goal I'm
[368]
gonna combine these two into one
[370]
position size I'll get further into that
[373]
later in the video okay so for the 30 TF
[376]
this ETF is designed to give us some
[378]
exposure to the international market for
[381]
this particular portfolio I like wisdom
[383]
trees international dividend X
[385]
financials ETF ticker symbol do o this
[389]
ETF has a fee of 58 basis points and
[392]
their dividend yields about 3.7 percent
[394]
this is getting a bit closer to the 5%
[397]
target for the whole overall port for
[399]
well I like this ETF because it
[402]
primarily focuses on developed economies
[405]
mostly in Europe they also have some
[408]
things in Japan but they have a bit over
[411]
a hundred companies in ETF I think it's
[413]
102 actually and they're fairly
[417]
diversified across many sectors so I'm
[419]
happy with this ETF for our
[421]
international exposure so now I'm
[424]
looking to juice up the dividends a bit
[426]
if I'm gonna get the portfolio to be
[428]
above the 5% a year target I still want
[431]
to diversify but I need a higher yield
[433]
so up next I'm adding a real estate ETF
[436]
here I like vanguards real estate ETF
[439]
ticker symbol vnq V&Q has a yield of
[443]
about four point three percent and they
[445]
have exposure to a wide assortment of
[447]
real estate mostly in the United States
[449]
and they focus on buying REITs if you
[452]
don't see what REITs are you could see a
[454]
link in the description below for an
[456]
investing basics video that we had done
[458]
on REITs and how we think REITs will
[460]
fare if the Federal Reserve Rises raises
[463]
interest rates so V&Q has almost 200
[467]
companies and they cover tons of
[470]
investments like malls or residential
[472]
properties and commercial properties
[474]
things like that another perk of vnq is
[477]
that they only have a fee of about 12
[479]
basis points which is great for an ETF
[481]
that has a decent yield so we're not
[485]
quite at the 5% we need yet but as we
[488]
continue to round out the portfolio next
[490]
we're going to turn to energy now here
[493]
we're adding alarians MLP ETF ticker
[496]
symbol a MLP now they have a more
[499]
concentrated portfolio with just 28
[501]
names in it and they focus on midstream
[504]
companies midstream companies just in
[507]
case you're not sure there are the
[508]
companies that ship commodities like gas
[510]
and oil they call the midstream because
[513]
of where they fall in the commodity
[515]
extraction process upstream is where
[517]
they pulled the oil onto the ground
[519]
midstream they ship it downstream their
[521]
refine it and then they sell it so for
[523]
us this is a great addition to the
[525]
portfolio MLP currently has a yield of
[527]
about 8% and this is awesome but it
[531]
doesn't come without its downside
[533]
since midstream companies can be tied to
[535]
commodity prices and commodity prices
[537]
can be quite volatile that makes a MLP
[540]
quite volatile in fact of all the ETFs
[543]
that we're adding to this portfolio this
[545]
is the most volatile of all of them so
[548]
has a great yield but it comes with at
[551]
the expense of having increased
[553]
volatility now to make that even tougher
[556]
to accept mo piece fee is 85 basis
[560]
points which is tied for the highest
[562]
feat in the portfolio sure it's less a
[565]
mutual fund fees but as far as ETF
[567]
standards it's fairly relatively high so
[569]
when I analyze the performance of a MLP
[572]
to the ETF's already I realize that the
[575]
reason I like this is that they have a
[577]
relative relatively low correlation when
[580]
it comes to how the other companies
[583]
perform in different markets that lower
[585]
correlation is one of the reasons I
[587]
wanted to add this so the next addition
[591]
to the portfolio is another one that has
[593]
low correlation and this one is called
[595]
the e tracks Wells Fargo Business
[597]
Development Index BDCs is the ticker now
[601]
technically this isn't an ETF at all
[604]
it's an etn which is short for
[606]
exchange-traded note now functionally
[609]
there are some differences between an
[612]
ETF and etn especially regarding tax
[614]
stream and things like that but and in
[616]
etn is probably I should probably make a
[618]
video on that separately but for our
[620]
purposes it will act it will provide the
[622]
dividend that we need and I'm certainly
[624]
happy with that this one also has a fee
[627]
of 85 basis points same as a MLP and it
[631]
pays a dividend of just over eight and a
[633]
half percent which is awesome now what
[636]
makes this one useful from our
[637]
perspective is that it continues to
[639]
diversify the portfolio and it helps to
[642]
yield this particular UTI focuses on
[645]
business development companies BDC for
[648]
short
[648]
what bbc's do is they invest in small
[651]
and medium sized businesses and they
[654]
expect to grow those businesses and try
[656]
to profit from that think venture
[658]
capital another key point with bbc's and
[661]
actually MLPs and REITs to is
[664]
and this may help explain the high
[666]
dividend yields is that these types of
[669]
corporate structures are unique in that
[671]
they don't pay corporate income taxes as
[673]
long as they pay out the majority of
[676]
their profits usually ninety percent to
[678]
shareholders now this is good because
[681]
imagine a normal company typical
[683]
publicly traded company earns a million
[686]
dollars profit well they pay taxes we'll
[688]
call that two hundred thousand and let's
[690]
pretend what would be left is the eight
[693]
hundred thousand if they were going to
[694]
pay out even ninety percent of that
[697]
they're only doing it on eight hundred
[698]
thousand compare that to a b d c-- or
[700]
MLP or a REIT and if they don't have to
[702]
pay that first two hundred thousand
[704]
dollars in taxes well ninety percent or
[708]
nine hundred thousand dollars would be
[709]
paid out to dividends this leads to
[711]
higher dividends and ultimately that our
[714]
dividend yields okay now we're putting
[716]
the finishing touches on this portfolio
[718]
for a final etf i'm adding an
[721]
interesting one and this one is very
[724]
portfolio specific very goals specific
[726]
don't forget that this portfolio is for
[729]
a retired gentleman who's looking are
[731]
earn five percent a year from the money
[733]
that's currently sitting in the bank so
[735]
i'm assuming he's fairly protective of
[737]
that money and so far we we are pretty
[742]
close to making that happen so to avoid
[745]
the potential of extreme volatility
[747]
hurting us too much i've chosen to add
[750]
the iShares twenty year Treasury bond
[754]
etf the ticker symbols TLT so TLT helps
[758]
with volatility because as i mentioned a
[761]
few times with other ETFs i like to
[763]
analyze how ETFs perform relative to
[767]
each other how highly correlated are
[769]
they so just be sure on the same page
[771]
with correlation here is how correlation
[774]
works if two companies or two ETS move
[777]
exactly like each other one is up 5% the
[779]
other one's up 5% and one moves to
[781]
second now it moves to seven well if
[783]
they always moved exactly like each
[784]
other you have a correlation of one on
[786]
the other hand on the other end of the
[788]
spectrum if they move exactly opposite
[790]
up five down five ten down ten well then
[793]
you would get a negative correlation of
[796]
negative one and everything will fall
[799]
somewhere in that spectrum well here's a
[802]
matrix that I put together that looks at
[805]
the performance and the correlation of
[807]
our ETFs over the past few years so we
[811]
could see how correlated they are to
[813]
each other as you can see here as I
[815]
mentioned before a MLP BDCs and V&Q are
[818]
have a lower correlation compared to
[821]
something like n o BL and do n which are
[824]
fairly highly correlated well if you
[827]
look down here you can see TLT is
[830]
negatively correlated and this negative
[833]
correlation is huge but this means that
[836]
if the markets up well in theory this
[839]
will be down well if the market goes
[841]
down if there's ever a major pullback
[842]
this TLT holding will help smooth out
[846]
this performance since it in theory
[848]
should be higher now the fee for TLT is
[851]
only 15 basis points and it has a yield
[854]
of about two and a half percent this
[856]
isn't bad at all considering the
[858]
benefits I feel that it brings to this
[860]
portfolio so to wrap up if I wanted a
[864]
yield of let's say 6% well it's just a
[867]
matter of reworking the waiting's for
[869]
the portfolio for this portfolio I'm
[871]
blending and OBL and do n into the same
[874]
15 percent portion of the portfolio and
[878]
that's because they're so highly
[880]
correlated and that's about seven half
[883]
percent each and this keeps me from
[885]
getting to us stock heavy and then I'm
[888]
buying about 15 percent of do o for some
[891]
international exposure 15% of TLT tel
[894]
help offset in a down market
[897]
20% of BDCs and then about 17 or 18
[900]
percent of a MLP depending on how things
[904]
land when I actually execute the trades
[905]
so at the end of the day assuming this
[908]
breakout for the portfolio I'd end up
[911]
with the yield of about 5.1 percent and
[913]
this does exactly what I need but if I
[916]
wanted it closer to 7 or 6 I mean I
[918]
could simply eliminate TLT and perhaps
[922]
spread that that money between the bbc's
[925]
the REITs and the energy companies
[927]
this would increase my volatility sure
[930]
but if we were my personal portfolio I'm
[932]
less concerned about short-term
[934]
volatility and for me this would make a
[936]
lot more sense since I would be
[937]
reinvesting those dividends anyways
[940]
so I'd welcome a market pullback so I
[942]
could get in and buy each of these ETFs
[945]
at a cheaper price so what do you think
[948]
of the portfolio if you like these types
[950]
of ETFs and if you do would you do
[954]
something differently would you add
[955]
something or weighted differently or
[957]
strive for a higher yield I'm always
[959]
curious to see what people think and I
[961]
love hearing good ideas so hopefully you
[963]
found this interesting and if you like
[965]

[968]
