Are you interested in investing in dividend paying companies? Our equity income funds aim for sustainable income and long-term growth
Quality Equity Income Funds
What is Equity Income?
Equity Income involves focusing on companies that provide regular dividend payments out of their profits to investors. This style of investing can come with multiple benefits:
Consistent income
- Dividend-paying stocks provide regular payments, often quarterly or biannually, creating a reliable stream of income.
- The regular payments of dividends mean investors earn returns without needing to sell their shares, even during market downturns.
Stability
- Companies that pay dividends are usually well-established with strong financial foundations and can be a source of stability and resilience during volatile market periods.
The compounding effect
- Reinvested dividends can be used to buy more shares, which in turn generate additional dividends. This can lead to gradual but considerable long-term portfolio growth through compounding.
- Compounding can also turn a fall in share price into an opportunity for better value investments. Learn more about this from our dividend investing insight.
For investors seeking long term income
This investing style, which generates income from equity investments, is geared toward investors seeking long-term income capital appreciation. Our quality equity income approach also offers investors downside protection by investing in solid and mature companies that can withstand economic volatility.

Why Choose Guinness
We construct high-conviction portfolios of 30-40 ‘best ideas’, unconstrained by benchmark considerations. Most of our portfolios take an equal-weight approach and are rebalanced periodically or on flows.
The clarity of our approach and consistent methodology make the characteristics of the portfolio easier to measure. This starts with the definition of the investment universe and the business attributes we look for, proceeds to the structured analytical framework and systematic approach we employ, and culminates in the construction and maintenance of our portfolios. As a result, the behaviour of a portfolio in different market conditions, while not guaranteed, becomes more predictable.
Our senior employees and fund managers have worked together for many years.
We are employee-owned with a significant long-term holding held by the Guinness family.
We target equal weights in our portfolios, unconstrained by benchmarks.
