If you’re thinking about retirement — or already living in it — one of the biggest questions you face is how to generate consistent income from your portfolio without running out of money. On this special edition of The Financial Hour of The Tom Dupree Show, hosts Tom Dupree Jr., Mike Johnson, and James Dupree dive deep into why dividend investing has become the foundation of how Dupree Financial Group builds retirement portfolios. From understanding how dividends actually work to why emotional decisions can cost you decades of returns, this episode is packed with insights for anyone who wants their money to keep working — even when markets get rocky. What Is a Dividend and Why Does It Matter in Retirement? Before diving into strategy, it helps to understand what a dividend actually is. As Mike Johnson explained on the show, “A dividend is just a portion of the earnings that are paid out to shareholders of a company. When you own shares of X, Y, Z company, you are an owner of that company.” Here’s the distinction that matters most for people in retirement: when a company declares a dividend, they declare a dollar amount per share — not a percentage. This means if you own 100 shares of a company paying $1 per share annually, you receive $100 in income regardless of what happens to the stock price. The yield percentage you see quoted on financial news is simply the dividend payment relative to the current share price. This is a critical concept for retirement income planning. As the SEC’s investor education resources explain, understanding the difference between yield and dollar-per-share income can fundamentally change how you approach portfolio withdrawals. How Dividends Protect Your Retirement Portfolio During Market Downturns One of the most common concerns for retirees is what happens to their income when markets decline. Mike Johnson addressed this directly: “When you have a period where the price goes down, and you’re taking withdrawals — if it’s not paying a dividend, you’re forced to liquidate something to produce that withdrawal. But with the dividends, if the share price goes down, unless there’s something wrong with the company, it’s still paying the dividend.” This is what investment professionals call avoiding the negative compounding of withdrawing principal — selling shares at depressed prices to fund living expenses, which permanently reduces your portfolio’s ability to recover. Dividend income allows retirees to meet their cash flow needs without being forced to sell at the worst possible time. Key takeaways on how dividends protect retirement income: Income stability in down markets: Dividend payments are determined by the underlying business, not short-term stock price movements driven by politics, tariffs, or market fear. Avoiding forced liquidation: Retirees who rely on selling shares for income are most vulnerable during the exact periods when selling hurts the most. Opportunity during volatility: When quality dividend stocks decline due to broad market selling, it creates opportunities to buy at higher current yields — which is exactly what Dupree Financial Group did during the April market pullback. Inflation protection through dividend growth: Companies with long histories of raising dividends often increase payouts faster than the rate of inflation, providing a natural cost-of-living adjustment that bonds cannot offer. What to Look for in a Quality Dividend-Paying Company Not every company that pays a dividend deserves a place in a retirement portfolio. On the show, the team walked through the characteristics they look for when evaluating dividend-paying companies: consistent and growing cash flow, disciplined management that keeps the payout ratio low enough to sustain the dividend through downturns, and a long track record of not just paying but raising the dividend year after year. When a company’s long-term dividend growth rate outpaces inflation — say 7% annually versus inflation running at 2–2.5% — it provides the kind of real purchasing power growth that fixed-income investments simply can’t match. That built-in inflation adjustment is one of the key reasons dividend-paying stocks can be a powerful complement to bonds in a retirement portfolio. This is the type of company-level research that sets personalized investment management apart from autopilot approaches. At Dupree Financial Group, the team regularly conducts direct calls with company investor relations departments — sometimes 15 or more in just a few weeks — to understand the quality of the underlying business, the consistency of cash flow, and the sustainability of the dividend. As Tom Dupree emphasized: “The bottom line is you want to be invested in a company that is a good business, and if you’re going to pay dividends, that they’re not paying everything out in dividends. What is the underlying business that’s generating the cash flow that’s paying those dividends? That’s what you want to know.” Dividends Have Driven Nearly Half the S&P 500’s Total Return The numbers behind dividend investing are striking. According to data discussed on the show and supported by research from S&P Dow Jones Indices, dividends have accounted for approximately 42% of the S&P 500’s total return from 1930 through 2017. Looking at a more recent window — from 1960 through 2024 — reinvested dividends accounted for roughly 85% of cumulative total return. As Mike put it, “Almost the majority of the return has come from reinvested dividends. And you think about it too — a lot of the companies that don’t pay dividends because they didn’t make it to that mature business, those are the ones that end up being a big goose egg.” This long-term data reinforces why Dupree Financial Group’s approach to retirement portfolio management centers on dividend-paying quality companies rather than chasing momentum stocks or speculative trends. The Emotional Cost of Market Timing — and How Dividends Help One of the most powerful segments of the episode focused on the role emotions play in investment returns. James Dupree brought up a statistic that Mike had independently prepared: over a 30-year period ending June 2025, the S&P 500 delivered an annualized return of 8.4%. But missing just the 10 best trading days — out of nearly 11,000 — dropped that return to 5.6%. Miss the best 20 days and you’re down to 3.7%. Miss 30 days and you’re barely keeping pace with inflation at 2.1%. Resources from FINRA’s investor education center consistently reinforce this point: the cost of trying to time the market far exceeds the discomfort of staying invested through volatility. James Dupree highlighted the communication side of this equation: “The result of the education is also very good communication, and through that communication, it takes a lot of the mystery out of the process. What you own and why. And as a result, when the market goes wonky, which it inevitably does, our phones do not ring off the hook because there is confidence in the process.” This kind of relationship — built on education, transparency, and regular communication — is what separates working with a local financial advisor who provides direct access to your portfolio managers from being assigned to an investment counselor at a large national firm. When you know the people managing your money and understand the strategy behind every holding, you’re far less likely to make the emotional mistakes that derail long-term returns. You can hear from other clients about their experience on our client testimonials page. Why Target Date Funds and Autopilot Investing Fall Short in Retirement The episode also addressed a common trap for people approaching retirement: staying in target date funds or other autopilot investment vehicles. Mike explained that a target date fund is an open-end mutual fund — essentially a fund of funds — that automatically adjusts its allocation based solely on a target retirement date. It takes no account of the investor’s personal situation, current market conditions, or individual income needs. As Mike pointed out, “They probably filled that form 30 years ago, and they haven’t updated it since. And now they’re getting closer to retirement, and they still have that target date fund. That’s autopilot.” This is one of the key reasons Dupree Financial Group uses separately managed accounts rather than mutual fund packages. Each client owns individual stocks and bonds in their own account — real companies with real dividends — rather than being pooled into a one-size-fits-all product. This approach allows for active portfolio management, tax-efficient decisions, and the kind of personalized attention that a fee-based fiduciary advisor can provide. Not All High-Yield Stocks Are Created Equal An important caution from the episode: high dividend yield alone is not a reason to buy a stock. Mike emphasized, “We concentrate on quality — quality of the income, quality of the cash flow of the company, and the quality of management. If you’re looking for things just because it has a high yield, that can get you into big trouble.” The Dupree team actively manages current yield across the portfolio, trimming positions that have appreciated significantly (and whose yield has declined) in favor of quality companies offering higher current income. This dynamic approach — grounded in ongoing company research and regular client reviews — is part of what makes a personalized portfolio analysis so valuable for people approaching or living in retirement. Schedule Your Complimentary Portfolio Review If you’re thinking about retirement or are already retired and want to understand whether your portfolio is positioned to generate reliable income through market ups and downs, schedule a complimentary portfolio review with Dupree Financial Group. The team will walk you through what you own, why you own it, and how a dividend-focused income strategy could work for your situation.

In his first “60 to 90 days” as CFO of Presidio, Manny Korakis learned that preparation doesn't cancel pressure, he tells us. “Now the buck stops here,” he tells us, and he “didn't really appreciate the pace” required until he was living it daily, he tells us.Korakis traces his move into enterprise thinking back to the McGraw Hill companies. Early on, he was “very technical” and “pretty close” to a singular controllership focus, he tells us. Then a mentor CFO pulled him into what they called the “growth and value plan,” he tells us. He worked on the “system landscape” and “data flow,” and on portfolio decisions about which assets were core and which were “distracting,” he tells us. That work drove the separation of McGraw Hill Education from the rest of McGraw Hill and a rebranding to “S&P Global,” he tells us. It also surfaced “hidden gems of value,” he tells us. Seeing theory turn “real life” became his “aha moment,” he tells us.In a later chapter, Korakis served as CFO of S&P Dow Jones Indices, where partners were aligned “in many cases,” but “not always aligned,” he tells us, requiring balance of “different needs and expectations,” he tells us.That arc shapes how he defines finance: not just “counting the beans,” but “highlighting the key things” so others decide better, he tells us. Today, he says finance “own[s] the model” for where Presidio wants to go, he tells us, and AI starts with “bite sized pieces,” he explains.

Episode Summary: In this episode of "Becoming Work Optional," hosts Matt and Rachael explore the basics of investing and address common misconceptions. They debunk the myth that successful investing requires access to exclusive investment options and emphasize the importance of making educated decisions. The discussion covers asset allocation, the debate between active and passive investing, and the impact of tax efficiency and expense ratios on investment returns.Key Points Discussed:Simplicity in Investing:Matt and Rachael emphasize that investing success doesn't hinge on complexity or access to exclusive options. They argue that basic understanding and education outweigh the allure of complicated strategies promoted through social media or by celebrities.Asset Allocation and Diversified Portfolios:The importance of asset allocation is highlighted as crucial for managing risk and achieving consistent long-term performance. Rachael introduces three tests to help listeners determine their proper asset allocation based on their ability, willingness, and need to take on risk.Debating Active vs. Passive Investing:The hosts debate the merits of active versus passive investing. They discuss findings from a study by S&P Dow Jones Indices, which suggests that actively managed funds often underperform their benchmarks, particularly over longer periods. The study can be found HERE.Tax Efficiency and Expense Ratios:The discussion turns to the importance of considering tax efficiency and the impact of expense ratios on investment returns. The hosts agree that controlling costs is essential for maximizing long-term capital gains and that passive or index funds often offer more tax-efficient and cost-effective options.This episode serves as a comprehensive guide for listeners looking to understand the foundations of investing and how to approach it in a thoughtful and informed manner.Connect with us:RachaelX/Twitter - @camp_wealthrachaelcampwealth.comMattX/Twitter - @matthew_garasicunrivaledwm.comDisclaimer: This podcast provides general information and discussion about finance, investing, and related subjects.

George Milling-Stanley, chief gold strategist at State Street Global Advisors, says that a recession or period of slower growth will hurt the dollar and domestic stocks, creating ideal conditions for gold, particularly with the confluence of higher-for-longer inflation and election-year politics. Milling-Stanley notes that while gold has not been a great hedge against the recent inflation, he expects it to do better in that role going forward because 'we have not yet had the kind of inflation that gold has historically offered protection against.' Also on the show, Hamish Preston of S and P Dow Jones Indices, discusses how the stock market in July hit thresholds for success that had not been seen in nearly 30 years, Greg McBride of BankRate.com discusses Americans' most common financial regrets and, in the Market Call,  Cullen Roche of the Discipline Funds talks systematic investment in exchange-traded funds.

In 2022, insurance company holdings in Exchange Traded Funds experienced a significant drop of over 23% or $11 billion. That is the first drop of its kind since insurers began investing in ETFs in 2004. And that's what we're going to talk about today: insurance companies and their use of ETFs. We're joined by Ben Woloshin who is the head of SPDR Insurance at SSGA and Raghu Ramachandran, who is the Head of US Insurance Asset Channel at S&P Dow Jones Indices.

As we know, I'm a huge advocate for index investing and today on the More Money Podcast I have two guests who are sharing their expertise on the subject including some of the pitfalls of investing in actively managed funds. Anu Ganti and Joseph Nelesen, both Senior Directors of Index Investment Strategy at S&P Dow Jones Indices, are joining me today and I'm telling you, this episode is chock-full of valuable investing info! Anu is a CFA charterholder and holds her MBA in finance and economics from Columbia Business School, as well as her bachelor's degree in finance and marketing from NYU's Stern School of Business. She is often sharing her expertise with both print and broadcast media outlets and helps lead the index investment strategy team in providing research and commentary on the entire S&P DJI product set, including U.S. and global equities, thematics, commodities, fixed income, and sustainability indices. Prior to joining the team, Anu worked in the asset management space, completing a post-MBA rotational program at Russell Investments within their fixed-income research and trading divisions and also worked as a portfolio manager focusing on emerging market equities at Parametric Portfolio Associates (a subsidiary of Eaton Vance). Joseph holds a Ph.D. from Northwestern University, an MBA from the Kenan Flagler Business School at University of North Carolina, and a Bachelor of Arts with honors from the University of California at San Diego. He also helps lead the index investment strategy team, but prior to working at S&P DJI he headed iShares Institutional Factors Strategy at Blackrock and held roles in exchange-traded product research and development. Joseph also previously worked in mergers and acquisitions and corporate investment banking with Citigroup and Bear, Stearns & Co. In this episode, Joseph and Anu challenge the myth that indexing only yields average investment returns and share how SPIVA measures actively managed funds against their index benchmarks worldwide using the data and insights they've gained over the past 20 years. This episode is full of some great information and will definitely be perfect for anyone wanting to understand why index investing is a tried and true long-term investment strategy.

Home prices have finally fallen from a year-ago levels, according to a commonly used indicator of data. Last month, investors received a slate of home price data for December and January from the National Association of Realtors and S&P Dow Jones Indices. The Realtors Association indicated that the median single-family home sold for $363,100 in January, up 0.7% year-over-year, while December data from the S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller Home Price Indices' reflected a national price increase of 5.8% year-over-year. More frequent data shows the housing market may have reached a turning point in February, with thin price gains turning into declines. Redfin said on Thursday that its measure of the median home sale price fell by 0.6% over a four-week period covering most of February.In this episode of The Higher Standard, Chris and Saied examine this news as well as other articles on the US housing market.

We've been seeing signs of a housing market pullback, but it's now official that home price growth is slamming on the brakes. The S&P CoreLogic Case-Shiller home price data is considered the gold standard for home prices, and the July numbers are now showing the first month-over-month decline since 2012.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review. National Home Price IndexThe report, released on September 27th, shows that national home prices were down .2%, for an annual rate of 15.8%. In June, the annual rate was 18.1%. CoreLogic says the difference between those two months is the steepest decline in the history of the index. (1)Managing Director at the S&P Dow Jones Indices, Craig Lazarra, says the slide in pricing “reflects a forceful deceleration.” He says: “As the Federal Reserve continues to move interest rates upward, mortgage financing has become more expensive, a process that continues to this day. Given the prospects for a more challenging macroeconomic environment, home prices may well continue to decelerate.” (2)20-City Home Price IndexThe 20-City Home Price Index shows a bigger slowdown in price growth. The month-over-month reading was down .4% for an annual rate of 16.1% in July. It was 18.7% in June.Annual price growth is still quite high in some metros. Tampa is at the top of that list with the largest year-over-year gains of 31.8% in July. Miami was second with 31.7%. Dallas follows with 24.7%.Home Prices Decline as Mortgage Rates RiseHome prices have been declining as mortgage rates rise. Home loans are currently around the 7% level, after a long period of very low rates. That's happening in conjunction with the Federal Reserve's effort to bring inflation back down to 2%. Although the Fed's actions are not directly connected to mortgage rates, they do influence them.Many homebuyers can't afford to pay the high cost of a mortgage along with a high-priced home, so that's taking some of the sizzle out of home sales, and home price growth. A lack of inventory is still putting pressure on home prices however, but the momentum of that upward trajectory is slowing down.Other Home Price ReportsA separate report from the Federal Housing Finance Agency also shows a similar drop in home prices. It says that prices were down .6% in July compared to June, and that June only produced a .1% gain in home prices. Year-over-year, the FHFA index was up 13.9%.John Burns Real Estate Consulting also tracks home prices in 148 markets. According to that data, 98 of those markets have seen a drop in home values from a peak earlier this year. Eleven of the markets show a decline of more than 5%. (3)Zillow also reports that home values have fallen in 89 of the 150 largest U.S. markets. And in ten of those markets, values have fallen more than 5%.Metros seeing the biggest price declines are the high-cost tech hubs and frothy work-from-home destinations. Among the high-cost tech hubs with the biggest price declines are San Jose, San Francisco, and Seattle. The work-from-home metros with the biggest price declines include Austin, Boise, and Phoenix.Real estate analysts say the new data is showing them that the expected home price correction is more pronounced and more widespread than they previously expected.If you want to keep up with real estate news, please subscribe to this podcast.

Active managers have, historically, had a tough time beating their benchmarks. Yet this year may prove to be an exception; nearly half of large-cap managers are outperforming. Can they keep it up? And can anything really reverse the massive migration to passive investing at this point? On this episode, Eric Balchunas and Joel Weber speak with Tim Edwards of S&P Dow Jones Indices, who oversees the SPIVA report, aka the ultimate active vs. passive scorecard. With his just-published latest installment in hand, Edwards talks through where active is doing well (and not so well), the role of fees in returns, and why bond funds tend to better than stock funds.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
