The Quiet Compounder Powering Wealth and Retirement

This new buy for our portfolio just raised its dividend by 12.5%

One of the most satisfying moments in dividend investing is when the thesis plays out exactly as expected. This week, one of our recent additions to the Dividend Hike Portfolio announced a 12.5% dividend increase—right on cue.

While this may have surprised some investors, we saw it coming. Why? Because we’ve been tracking this company’s remarkably consistent history of annual double-digit hikes—something few in the market seem to have noticed.

In this post, we will break down the business behind the numbers: its 160-year legacy, its unique dual-engine model, and why its combination of insurance stability and asset management growth makes it a standout. Most importantly, I’ll show you why this company may quietly be one of the best-kept secrets in dividend growth investing.
