With the inflation still running, and recession risks rising around the world, you might be wondering if any part of your stock portfolio is likely to generate returns in the coming months—or if preserving your capital is the best one can hope for in this environment? One way to make gains from your portfolio, is investing in so-called dividend stocks. 

There are several potential benefits to investing in dividend paying companies as their stocks provide two sources of return: regular income from dividend payments and capital appreciation of the stock price. Therefore, building a portfolio of stocks that pay dividend regularly is a smart way to create consistent income from the markets. Quarterly or monthly dividend paying companies tend to be well-established, with stable profits and a track record of distributing a portion of it to shareholders in the form of cash or additional stock.  

Here is the list of ten U.S. stocks available on Fundvest that will pay a dividend in August 2023: 

NYSE: O – Realty Income Reit Corp

Why buy famous brands when you can invest in them? 

Why buy famous brands when you can invest in them?

Facebook

In addition to purchasing products or services from your favourite brands, you also have an opportunity to acquire a share in them through Fundvest. This approach makes perfect sense because as a shareholder, consuming a company’s products literally pays you back since you also own a right to a portion of its profits, even if in reality the amounts are very small. 

Investing in stocks of companies that own famous brands can be a profitable strategy for several other reasons. Here are a few key points: 

  • “Invest in what you know”: This quote by investor Peter Lynch suggests buying stocks of businesses you understand. Lynch’s philosophy can therefore be extended to famous consumer brands as these are usually well-known to the wider public, and information about their business models and financial projections is readily available. However, it’s important to note that buying from a brand does not automatically make you an expert in their business; thorough research is still necessary. 
  • Dividend income: Some companies that own well-known brands distribute a portion of their profits to shareholders as dividends. This is often the case because these companies are well-established and enjoy stable profits. By investing in such stocks, you may earn regular income from your investment. 
  • Diversification: Owning shares of different brand stocks helps diversify your investment portfolio. Since everyone purchases from brands spanning various industries, such as technology, consumer goods, healthcare, and finance, this approach offers exposure to different sectors. 

Here are a few examples of famous US brand stocks available on the Fundvest app: 

  • Apple Inc. (AAPL): A technology giant known for its iPhones, iPads, Macs, and other products. It has a strong global presence and a loyal customer base. 
  • Amazon.com Inc. (AMZN): An e-commerce and cloud computing company that dominates online retail and has expanded into various industries, including streaming services, smart devices, and logistics. 
  • The Coca-Cola Company (KO): A leading beverage company with a diverse portfolio of popular soft drink brands. It has a long-standing global presence and a strong distribution network. 
  • Nike Inc. (NKE): A renowned sportswear and athletic footwear company known for its innovative products, marketing campaigns, and endorsements with top athletes. 
  • Tesla Inc. (TSLA): An electric vehicle and clean energy company that has revolutionized the automobile industry and focuses on sustainable energy solutions. 
  • Alphabet Inc. (GOOGL): The parent company of Google, the world’s most popular search engine. It offers various products and services, including online advertising, cloud computing, and software. 
  • The Walt Disney Company (DIS): A global entertainment and media conglomerate involved in film production, television networks, theme parks, and merchandise. Its brands include Disney, Marvel, Pixar, and Star Wars. 
  • McDonald’s Corp. (MCD): A global fast-food restaurant chain known for its iconic golden arches. It offers a wide menu of burgers, snacks, and drinks, operating in over 100 countries.  

The list presented above is of course not exhaustive. Therefore, feel free to look up your favourite brands from the Fundvest app! 

While investing in brands you love can be a great starting point, thorough research on the companies whose stocks you’re considering to buy is crucial. Remember that even brands you currently admire may experience changes in value and stock prices in the future. 

 


Please be advised that the list provided is for informational purposes only and not intended as specific investment advice. All Fundvest clients are encouraged to conduct their own research, assess their risk tolerance and financial capacity, and consult experts if necessary. Past performance of companies does not guarantee future results.

Most traded stocks on NYSE on Fundvest app 

Most traded stocks on NYSE on Fundvest app

Fundvest has been available for almost six months now. That sounds like a great time to take a look back on the most traded stocks on Fundvest. 

More specifically, we are presenting 10 most traded stocks by volume (number of shares traded on Fundvest) that are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). As the NYSE is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalisation, the most traded stocks include several prominent companies.  

So, what are the most traded NYSE stocks by volume on Fundvest? (Price ranges from finance.yahoo.com) 

  1. SPCE:NYSE – Virgin Galactic Holdings (6-month price range in $:  2.98-6.61)
  2. MPW:NYSEMedical Properties Trust Inc (6-month price range in $:  7.10-14.00)
  3. DNA:NYSE – Ginkgo Bioworks Holdings Inc (6-month price range in $:  1.12-2.25)
  4. AMC:NYSEAmc Entertainment Holdings Inc Class A  (6-month price range in $:  3.77-8.53)
  5. C:NYSE – Citigroup Inc (6-month price range in $:  42.01-53.23)
  6. KO:NYSE – Coca-Cola (6-month price range in $:  58.37-64.99)

  10. ALIT:NYSE – Alight Inc  (6-month price range in $:  8.04-10.19)

What causes a stock to be most active? 

In many cases, trade activity increases when there has been a significant change in a stock price. Such a change is usually due to some newsworthy event. A positive earnings report can generate interest in the stock causing the price to rise. Conversely, a negative earnings report can put selling pressure on the stock, causing the price to decline. This increased trading volume can stay in place for a while as other investors jump in for fear of missing out. 

But there are also several other reasons that can make a stock more traded. Here are some examples: 

  1. The market volume might be higher for stocks that are generally more known by the public;  
  2. the stocks with lower price, including the so called “penny-stocks”, might also have a larger trading volume, as more shares need to be exchanged in case of larger transactions with those stocks; 
  3. a high number of free-float shares, meaning the amount of shares readily available on the market for the public also results in higher volume.  

 

Please be advised that the list presented is informative and not intended to be an investment advice suggesting specific stocks, but merely a presentation of facts. All Fundvest clients are encouraged to do their own research and make sure of their risk tolerance and financial capacity before making investment decisions. Please consult an expert, if necessary.

10 S&P 500 stocks with the lowest P/E ratio on Fundvest 

10 S&P 500 stocks with the lowest P/E ratio on Fundvest

When discussing value investing, one of the most popular ratios used for identifying stocks to invest in is the trailing P/E (Price-to-earnings) ratio. The trailing twelve months P/E ratio is calculated by dividing the current stock price by the sum of 4 latest quarterly earnings per-share of the underlying company. But why is the P/E ratio important for a value investor, you may ask? That’s because the stocks with a lower P/E ratio could be undervalued and might do better in the future. For an example, a P/E ratio of 5 shows, that the stock trades at 5 times its earnings per share, while for a stock with a P/E of 10, this multiplier is 10. There is no universal definition of a good P/E ratio as it varies across sectors and business models, but generally, a P/E ratio lower than 20-25 is already considered good. All in all, a better than average P/E shows, that a company is making more per its share price than other companies.  

Therefore, we have chosen 10 stocks from the legendary S&P 500 list that are available on the Fundvest app, based on the lowest (but not negative) trailing twelve months P/E ratios for you! The data is based on 22 May 2023. 

  1. Dish Network Corp Class A (DISH – NASDAQ): The telecom services corporation had a very low P/E ratio of only 2.09 at market close of 22 May. 
  2. EQT Corp (EQT – New York Stock Exchange): This oil and gas company showed a P/E ratio of 3.14. This can also be considered really low. 
  3. Apa Corp (APA – NASDAQ): Another oil and gas firm on the list showed a P/E similar to the previous: 3.38. 
  4. Comercia Inc (CMA – New York Stock Exchange): This Dallas based bank boasts a trailing P/E ratio of 3.44. Although, it is important to note that the banking stocks are at the time of writing going through turbulent times because of the scares caused by the interest risk. 
  5. Philips 66 (PSX – New York Stock Exchange): The energy manufacturing and logistics company has a P/E ratio of 3.56. 
  6. Principal Financial Group Inc (PFG – NASDAQ): The asset management and insurance group has a P/E ratio is a strong 3.99. 
  7. American International Group (AIG – New York Stock Exchange): Yet another financial group in the list. This one has a trailing P/E ratio of 4.02. 
  8. Mosaic (MOS – New York Stock Exchange): The crop nutrient manufacturer that is one of the two non-energy and non-financial companies on the list, shows a P/E ratio of 4.38. 

Honourable mentions:  

Even though all the companies in the above list are a part of the S&P 500 index, they surely are not the best-known. Therefore, we present to you two honourable mentions, i.e., really big names that also have a low trailing P/E ratio. 

  • General Motors (GM): The automotive industry giant has had a nice and low P/E ratio for some years now. At the moment, the ratio for the stock is 5.64. 
  • Verizon (VZ): This telecommunication company has a P/E ratio of 7.38, which is good compared to other companies in the same industry. The firm also has a nice dividend yield of 7.19% from the current share price. 

Despite the P/E ratio being an understandable financial metric, it is important to note that it is not the only financial indicator that you should take into consideration while making investment decisions. Even though a low trailing P/E could hint to undervalued stocks, this ratio could also be low because of negative future outlook (e.g., risk of bankruptcy or negative growth) for the underlying company. The P/E should be used to compare similar companies (by industry for instance), because the already mentioned future outlook may differ a lot.

Please be advised that the list presented is informative and not intended to be an investment advice suggesting specific stocks, but merely a presentation of facts. All Fundvest clients are encouraged to do their own research and make sure of their risk tolerance and financial capacity before making investment decisions. Please consult an expert, if necessary.

What is an LEI code and who needs it?   

What is an LEI code and who needs it?

An LEI code (Legal Entity Identifier) is a 20-character unique identifier that is assigned to legal entities that engage in financial transactions. It is used to identify the legal entity that is involved in financial transactions and is required by regulatory authorities in many countries. 

The LEI system was introduced as part of the global effort to improve transparency in financial markets and to reduce the risk of financial fraud. It helps regulators and market participants better understand the relationships between different entities, and to monitor the systemic risks associated with financial transactions. 

Legal entities that engage in financial transactions, such as corporations, banks, and investment funds, are typically required to obtain an LEI code. It should be noted, that every company which makes transactions with stocks and ETFs on Fundvest, is also required to get themselves an LEI code. 

Overall, the LEI system is an important tool for improving transparency and reducing the risks associated with financial transactions, and it is an essential requirement for any legal entity that engages in financial transactions. 

 

Where can you get an LEI code? 

 

The list of LEI code providers is available on the website of the Global Legal Entity Identifier Foundation (GLEIF). The specific requirements for obtaining an LEI code may vary depending on the jurisdiction and the type of entity involved. 

 

What is the cost? 

The cost of obtaining an LEI code in Europe can vary depending on the service provider. There is an initial registration fee and an annual renewal fee. 

Please be aware, that the costs of obtaining and renewing your company’s LEI code, will be covered by you, not Fundvest.
