Many dividend portfolios are built around a single objective: maximizing yield.
But those higher yields frequently carry hidden costs like slower growth, greater volatility, and a higher risk of dividend cuts.
Over time, these factors can limit both income stability and total return.
Quant Growth & Income (QG&I) is a new model portfolio from Seeking Alpha. It’s designed to outperform the Vanguard High Dividend Yield Index ETF (VYM) in total return.
At the core of the strategy is dividend quality.
Seeking Alpha’s Dividend Grades are built to help preserve capital, sustain dividend growth, and minimize dividend risk. Backtested data shows:
- 99% of dividend cuts were avoided among the highest-rated stocks
-
The vast majority of dividend cuts occurred in lower-rated names
QG&I uses these signals to help prioritize more reliable income streams and stronger long-term outcomes.
