   Based in Illinois, Brentview Investment Management is an employee-owned, certified minority business enterprise1 with a singular focus on dividend growth investing. The seasoned team has 25+ years of experience across various market environments. Brentview has a proven track record of investing solely in dividend-paying equities with a focus on quality companies and controlling risk.

Investment Objective & Principal Strategy

The Brentview Dividend Growth Strategy seeks to outperform the S&P 500 Index with downside protection and lower volatility.

Brentview’s approach is focused on investing in mid to large-capitalization stocks that pay a dividend and exhibit the potential for dividend growth. The process is designed to have an aggregate portfolio beta below the S&P 500 Index, a dividend yield equal to or greater than the Index and a dividend growth rate greater than the Index.


Investment Process

Brentview’s investment process begins by screening all listed (domestic and ADRs) companies for those with a market capitalization greater than $3 billion, that pay a dividend, and have a positive projected dividend growth rate.

Brentview differentiates itself by expanding its investable universe to all dividend-paying stocks, including recent initiators, regardless of absolute yield or payment history.

The seasoned investment team then conducts rigorous fundamental analysis on these companies utilizing a repeatable three-step process comprised of qualitative and financial analysis, as well as examining valuation and volatility versus sector peers.

Portfolio holdings are selected based on Brentview’s fundamental research on companies determined to be best positioned to generate strong total return based on operating consistency, attractive fundamentals, and reasonable valuations.

Final portfolios are fundamentally built and conviction-based with 30-40 mid-to-large cap, dividend-paying stocks that exhibit the potential for growth. Brentview seeks to balance exposure across all S&P 500 GICS sectors, dividend growth potential, absolute yield, and company beta.

Brentview continues to conduct research on the existing holdings to identify any factors contrary to the original investment rationale in order to anticipate potential dividend cuts and/or deteriorating fundamentals. Additional sell factors include a change in business strategy, valuation concerns and relative attractiveness of other opportunities.

The S&P 500 Index is a capitalization-weighted index that measures the performance of 500 large capitalization domestic stocks representing all major industries.  The S&P 500 Index is the most appropriate benchmark to best reflect broad market performance.  Beta is a measure of the volatility, or systematic risk, of a security or a portfolio in comparison to the market as a whole. A beta of 1 indicates that the security’s price moves with the market. A beta of less than 1 means that the security is theoretically less volatile than the market. A beta of greater than 1 indicates that the security’s price is theoretically more volatile than the market.

All investments involve risk, including loss of principal, and there is no guarantee that investment objectives will be met.

It is important to remember that there are risks inherent in any investment and there is no assurance that any investment or asset class will provide positive performance over time. Dividends are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Dividend yield is one component of performance and should not be the only consideration for investment. Growth style investing may fall out of favor and underperform other styles of investing over any period of time.

Certain sectors or growth stocks may shift characteristics over a long market cycle and may not perform in line with stated benchmarks.  Companies experiencing high rates of current growth may be more volatile than other types of investments. Non U.S. investing presents additional risks such as the potential for adverse political, currency, economic, social or regulatory developments in a country including lack of liquidity, excessive taxation, and differing legal and accounting standards. These risks are magnified in emerging and frontier markets.
