Paid-To-Wait® Model Trades

A crucial part of our portfolio management process is the beginning of the year rebalancing of our model portfolios. During the month of December, the WFG Investment Department performs an extensive review of all portfolio holdings. Along with this review, we consider hundreds of other investment ideas to determine the best mix for the next year.

Last week, we finished executing the rebalancing in our Paid-To-Wait® model portfolio. The Paid-To-Wait® model is designed to achieve an attractive yield while investing in solid, blue-chip companies. The screening process emphasizes companies that have a long track record of both paying and increasing their dividends. The portfolio is designed to have a low turnover.
