What about the risks of investing in the stock market?

There are risks in investing in ASX shares, but the ASX Small Cap dividend stocks we recommend have delivered an annual cash dividend yield of up to 5% before you include franking credits, rather than a yield of 2% from a Government bond. Plus, you get capital growth potential, unlike a bond or bank deposit.

ASX Dividends Stocks in a Small Cap Portfolio

Investing in the stock market is all about building a portfolio of 7-15 ASX stocks that will give you a combination of income and growth. It is also about minimising your risk through diversification.

Diversification is powerful to even out the returns to reduce risk

The great thing about Small Caps is the variety of different sectors on offer, which is sharply contrasted by the concentration of exposure in the ASX 200 to banking and resources. For example, you don't want to invest in only two companies which operate in the same sector. Don't put all your eggs in one basket!

Should I re-invest my dividends in Australia?

If you reinvest dividends this will work to supercharge your returns over the long-term. Albert Einstein is rumoured to have said that compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world, but we doubt this. Even so, you can see its effect when you reinvest dividends.

If you invested $1000 and achieved an 8% annual return every year over forty years, made up of 3% dividends and 5% capital gain, this would have appreciated to $21,720 with re-invested dividends and $7,040 without re-investment.

Dividend investing isn't everything

A strong balance sheet is most important. We have invested in a number of companies (including two in media and one in contracting) that made efforts to repair their balance sheets by forgoing dividends. These companies subsequently delivered great cash flow.

If I want income, why don't I just put my money in a bank?

Try finding a term deposit that has a rate above 2.5% where your money is not locked up. You can’t get 2% from a govt bond. Even if you do, you’re taking price risk. If interest rates go up, the value of your bonds goes down.

Our Blue Chip Value Price Target methodology, is based on two investment models that rely on each company’s investment fundamentals and consensus forecasts for earnings growth and dividend payments. They are also based on long-standing and validated valuation theory principles.

From valuation theory practicalities that make the Blue Chip Value Model work, it provides a great base from which to generate price targets to help you manage your Share portfolio and to find buying opportunities.
