Today, following up on yesterday’s post, I wanted to try to create a portfolio that would have a dividend yield closer to 5% while also having sustainable picks that could increase their dividends over time (as well as sales and profits). Clearly, when comparing such a portfolio with one such as the Ultimate Sustainable Dividend Portfolio, I would expect there to be some downside because of the higher yield but as discussed yesterday, this portfolio could end up doing very well for those looking for a higher dividend yield.
