Select Dividend Growth

Strategy highlights
  • Dividend focus: Bottom-up fundamental analysis to identify high-quality companies that are well positioned to grow their dividend over time
  • Concentrated portfolio: Long-term total return potential from a concentrated investment strategy
  • Risk and reward balance: The strategy aims to provide capital appreciation, dividend income, and a measure of downside protection

Strategy description

Select Dividend Growth leverages fundamental research drawing from our domestic and international strategies, while optimizing the risk/reward profile to construct a concentrated portfolio of dividend-paying equities that have the fundamental strength for future dividend growth and capital appreciation.

Investment process

The investment team utilizes bottom up, fundamental analysis to identify high-quality companies that are well-positioned to grow their dividend over time. Companies are evaluated based on their balance sheet strength, earnings growth, return on equity, quality of management and their commitment to returning cash to shareholders.

Literature and resources

A separately managed account (SMA) is a private portfolio of actively managed, individual securities that may be customized to achieve an individual investor's unique objectives.

SMA accounts typically require a minimum investment of $100,000 for equity and asset allocation strategies and $350,000 for fixed income strategies, although the specific minimum account size varies by program and may be subject to change. The manager may waive these minimums based on client type, asset class, pre-existing relationship with client and other factors. For certain accounts, a negotiated minimum annual fee applies. Please consult with your Nuveen Advisor Consultant for applicable minimums.

Important information on risk

All investments carry a certain degree of risk, including possible loss of principal, and there is no assurance that an investment will provide positive performance over any period of time. Equity investments are subject to market risk or the risk that stocks will decline in response to such factors as adverse company news or industry developments or a general economic decline. A focus on dividend-paying securities presents the risks of greater exposure to certain economic sectors rather than the broad equity market (sector or concentration risk). Foreign investments involve additional risks. The strategy’s potential investment in non-U.S. stocks presents risks such as political risk, exchange rate risk, lack of liquidity and inflationary risk, economic change, social unrest, changes in government relations, and different accounting standards. This strategy may invest in American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). ADRs do not eliminate the currency and economic risks for the underlying shares in another country. Dividends are not guaranteed and will fluctuate. Dividend yield is one component of performance and should not be the only consideration for investment.

Check with your financial professional for specific product availability and performance information. This information may change without notice. From time to time, we may close or reopen strategies.

Effective 30 Apr 2026, Charles Carr joins David Chalupnik, David Park and Scott Tonneson as a portfolio manager on the strategy. This update is not expected to impact the overall investment strategy.
