Dividend growth investing gives investors a little bit of everything.

Most investing styles focus heavily on one aspect of investing.

• Value investors are looking for deep discounts to intrinsic value
• Growth investors are looking for fast growth rates
• And income investors are looking for very high yields to maximize income

Dividend growth investors care about valuation. Investing in a significantly overvalued security can mean low yields now. Conversely, significantly undervalued securities mean a somewhat higher starting yield – and the possibility of capital gains from valuation multiple mean reversion.

Dividend growth investors care about growth. Faster growth means your dividend income will rise quicker. The ‘growth’ in dividend growth investing should make it very apparent that growth matters for dividend growth investors.

And dividend growth investors care about yield. The higher the yield, the more dividends one receives, both now and in the future.

Investors looking for stocks that combine dividend yield and growth, should consider the Dividend Champions, a group of stocks with 25+ years of consecutive dividend increases.

With this in mind, we created a downloadable list of over 130 Dividend Champions.
