P/E ratios will stay flat or fall. To the extent that equities deliver positive returns, such positive returns will, out of necessity, be driven by dividends and earnings (the other two contributing sources of total return). Both dividends and earnings are “real” phenomena as opposed to “pricing multipliers”. 26 Summary Case for Shareholder Yield Assume overall economy (nominal terms) grows 6%. Assume current dividend yield is 2%. The return to equities will be 8%. If interest rates rise, P/E ratios will fall. Under such a scenario, equity returns will be less than 8%. To the extent that equities deliver positive returns, such positive returns will, out of necessity, be driven by dividends and earnings. A clear opportunity exists by focusing on the sources of real returns. 27 Summary Case for Shareholder Yield Through the use of a financial metric (free cash flow) rather than an accounting metric (earnings) it is easier to discern those firms most likely to utilize their free cash flow intelligently for shareholder value creation. If the return on incremental capital to be deployed in the business is equal to or less than the present average return on capital, the capital should be returned to shareholders. By assembling a portfolio of companies that offer superior dividend levels (direct dividends, share repurchases, debt reductions) and operating earnings growth we will be able to deliver performance superior to that of the broad-based equity market. 28 Portfolio Characteristics Core Portfolio Process Current Portfolio Allocation 29 Core Portfolio Process: Fund Competitive Positioning Exceptional, robust, current yield > 5% Exceeds long bonds Roughly 300 bps greater than global equity indices Consistent dividend growth 3% compound annual growth last three years 85% of companies raised their dividend in the last 12 months Global participation and diversification Innovative Portfolio Construction Stock-specific performance and income risks reduced Simultaneously allocating portfolio weight, income, and dividend growth Special Dividend Capture Program 30 Core Portfolio Process: Epoch’s Proprietary Income Screen Income Security and Growth Current yield > 4% 3+ years of monotonically increasing dividends Cash from operations exceeds dividends (or cash returned) over trailing three years Want ample dividend coverage and to avoid liquidating income vehicles No dividend cancellations in available financial history up to 20 years Dividend is “sacred” Low incidence of dividend reduction in available history Company has increased dividend in more than 50% of available history Positive growth in cash flow from operations over the last 5 years Liquidity: Market Capitalization > $250 million U.S. For lightly traded stocks, prospective position is less than one-day of trading volume 31 Core Portfolio Process: Portfolio Construction Take candidate stocks ( n ~ 150) Use quadratic optimizer to maximize the probability of achieving the following portfolio goals: 1. Conventional Dividend Yield >= 5% 2. Recent Dividend Growth = 10% (Expected Incremental Yield = 0.50%) 3. R-squared of security dividend streams > 0.9 for two-thirds of holdings 4. Seek additional 1.5% of shareholder yield through expected share repurchases and debt reduction Position Constraints: Maximum assets per security = 2.5% Maximum income contribution per security = 3% Maximum incremental income per security = 5% Minimum position = 0.50% 32 Current Portfolio Allocation Economic Sectors portfolio weight Citigroup BMI World weight 30% 25% 20% 15% 10% 5% 0% 33 Current Portfolio Allocation Geographic Diversification Portfolio Citigroup BMI World 60% 50% 40% 30% 20% 10% 0% 34 Summary details Minimum Purchase: $500 / Each subsequent investment minimum: $50.
