kate_sept2004/E+ via Getty Images Overview You've probably heard the traditional retirement advice of using the 4% withdrawal rate. This requires retirees to sell off 4% of their portfolio every year to help support their lifestyle expenses. This is a strategy that is most commonly implemented on an ETF that tracks the total stock market or S&P 500. However, I would argue that the Capital Group Dividend Value ETF ( CGDV ) is a better choice for retirees following this 4% rule. The fund outperforms during rallies, market pullbacks, and periods of choppiness. The fund implements a strategy that has demonstrated success in preserving capital through periods of uncertainty as well. Looking at the performance over the last twelve months, we can see that CGDV's share price has increased by nearly 32.4%. The fund has demonstrated its ability to provide impressive returns, even through periods of market uncertainty. When including all dividends paid to investors, the total return jumps a bit higher to 34.5% over the same time frame. The fund's starting dividend yield of 1.2% isn't that impressive. While the dividend growth history is a bit more impressive, the fund's short operating history makes it too soon to definitively confirm that a high rate of dividend growth should be expected going forward. Data by YCharts When I previously covered CGDV, I issued a buy rating because of the fund's outperformance against the S&P 500 Index ( SPX ). Since then, the fund has indeed continued to outperform the S&P 500 through all of the uncertainty. Looking forward, I believe that this outperformance is likely to continue, even in a scenario where the technology sector rapidly appreciates higher. I specifically wanted to revisit CGDV to discuss its value proposition, outlook, and appeal for retirees. The fund has achieved a unique dynamic where it captures more upside growth than the indices while limiting downside risks. So if you are a retiree using the 4% rule, it makes sense to hol...

Richard Drury/DigitalVision via Getty Images The following segment was excerpted from the Parnassus Mid Cap Growth Fund Q1 2026 Commentary . Portfolio Positioning Finding opportunities beyond AI During the quarter, we continued to broaden our portfolio's exposure away from companies more vulnerable to disruption from AI, toward companies with durable business models and clear paths to growth. We were active managers this quarter, adding eight stocks that support our investment philosophy. We invested in Dick's Sporting Goods ( DKS ), a consistent share gainer that recently acquired Foot Locker, which we believe offers meaningful upside over the long term. We also initiated a position in community-driven knowledge website Reddit ( RDDT ), where strong network effects and an under-monetized data asset support further user growth and monetization. We added Somnigroup International ( SGI ) and Builders FirstSource ( BLDR ) to the portfolio, where we see the potential for earnings upside driven by a cyclical housing recovery. We also invested in Vulcan Materials ( VMC ), which provides complementary exposure through its leadership in construction aggregates, supported by localized supply advantages and pricing power. In addition, Rocket Lab ( RKLB ) provides us with exposure to the long-term growth of the orbital economy through its differentiated launch and satellite capabilities. We also added Health Care companies Medline ( MDLN ) and Edwards Lifesciences ( EW ). Medline is a scaled medical-surgical distributor with opportunities for steady growth, while Edwards is a leader in structural heart therapies with a strong pipeline and established position in transcatheter valve replacement. To fund these additions, we exited Equifax ( EFX ), Broadridge Financial Solutions ( BR ), Verisk Analytics ( VRSK ), Autodesk ( ADSK ) and CoStar Group ( CSGP ), primarily due to a widening range of outcomes related to AI. We exited Ares Management ( ARES ), as recent liquidity pressur...

Naturecreator/iStock via Getty Images The year started off much like the second half of 2025, with most stocks going up and caution being penalized. February brought a market that was best described as “ weird ” with multiple, large sector-wide moves driven by themes like perceived AI winners and losers. Then the Iran War and growing systemic private credit risk complicated matters more. We lagged the market to start the quarter but performed better relatively as “weird” turned to “bad.” We ended the quarter with a P/V in the mid-50s%, a rare level for us that bodes well for absolute returns moving forward. A theme so far this year is that it has not been a good time to report a complicated quarter as a public company. Our investees that needed more explanation were overly punished by the market. To quantify this effect, stocks in the portfolio that each detracted more than 50 basis points individually combined for a negative impact of over 650 basis points. However, the value per share decline for these stocks was less than 25 basis points in aggregate. While we will always have winners and losers in any given quarter, this was an abnormally large mismatch between price and value change. Many of these companies had results that could be read as disappointing to short-term earnings per share, but there was little to no impact to the free cash flow (FCF) per share that we believe will materialize and/or is the consensus estimate for 2027+. While this dynamic gives us comfort that we remain on the right track, we are not waiting for the market to be a weighing machine instead of a voting machine. We have stepped up our behind-the-scenes engagement with our investees and are optimistic some of this work (that could go public) will show results as the year goes on. We have already had one instance of that in the Longleaf Small-Cap Fund . At our investments at larger and/or controlled companies such as FedEx, IAC and Exor where minority shareholders have less say (in the...

One of the oldest tech companies around is once again looking very attractive to investors. Shares of Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) have known extreme ups and downs over the past decade. The company went public back in 1971 and enjoyed a massive run-up during the dot-com boom of the 1990s. It then dropped like a rock and traded sideways for a decade. In recent years, it has struggled; the stock price lost two-thirds of its value between early 2021 and early 2025. Investors began to write the chipmaker off as a dinosaur in an age when companies like Nvidia and Broadcom became the industry leaders. But that may be changing. Continue reading
