Dividend Income
Parametric's Dividend Income Strategy provides clients with a diversified portfolio of durable dividend payers to help create a reliable source of income. We aim to outperform the Russell 1000® Value Index on a total-return basis over a full market cycle.
Dividends have historically been a meaningful component of total return for stocks, with dividend payers outperforming nonpayers in both bull and bear markets*. Dividend stocks also benefits from capital appreciation and can help clients build wealth faster because of their growing capital base.
