The primary half of 2022 is within the books, and it was not fairly. U.S. shares delivered their worst displaying since 1970. That mentioned, daily ahead is one other day nearer to the top of this bear market. Ahead valuations are enhancing, however the PE ratios could also be challenged by a slowing financial system and earnings headwinds. Due to power shares, commodities and the outperformance of Canadian dividend payers, our portfolios are holding up moderately effectively.
In a latest Making Sense of the Markets replace, I outlined the returns for U.S., Canadian and worldwide property for the primary half of 2022. Here is a Liz Sonders Tweet that gave the small print for U.S. shares by sector and elegance.
Undergo that MoneySense put up, and you will find the small print for added property, plus commentary on the latest financial occasions and prospects. In fact, it is all about inflation, and it might come all the way down to a recession or stagflation. And sure, there’s the likelihood that the Fed can navigate a mushy touchdown, although that could be a lengthy shot.
How Did Our U.S. Shares Maintain Up?
For our accounts (my spouse and me), we maintain the 17 dividend achievers and three inventory picks. I skimmed 15 of the most important cap dividend achievers (VIG) in early 2015. The record grew to 17 shares when United Applied sciences merged with Raytheon (RTX) and spun off OTIS Worldwide (OTIS) and Provider World (CARR). That 3-pack has performed very effectively from January of 2021.

From January of 2021 to the top of June 2022, we are able to see that our complete U.S. portfolio has a slight edge over the S&P 500, with the United Applied sciences spinoffs delivering in a significant method.
The markets have primarily taken a spherical journey over the past 18 months.
A Very Significant Latest Beat
Listed here are the returns for your entire U.S. inventory portfolio, the dividend achievers plus the three picks of Apple (AAPL), BlackRock (BLK) and Berkshire Hathaway (BRK.B). The interval is from January of 2015 to the top of June 2022.

For the above comparability, I eliminated the spinoffs (not obtainable pre-2021). And as per the earlier charts, the spinoffs have added to the latest market beat. As per our true portfolio weightings, Apple and Berkshire are at a double weight.
Listed here are the returns of the person shares, from January of 2015 to the top of June 2022.

The portfolio outperformance is led by tech and the buyer discretionary shares. Additionally, the win charge of the portfolio may be very excessive in comparison with the market, and most funds. The one loser is Walgreens. 3M has been a laggard and has principally been in optimistic territory, although it not too long ago slipped into the crimson.
Whereas I’m a giant fan of index investing, the above demonstrates that an investor can construct a concentrated portfolio. In actual fact, I not too long ago regarded again with…
If I could only own 10 stocks.
That was a 10-stock portfolio thought put forth in early 2019. The concentrated portfolio greater than achieved its targets. Have a learn, that was a well-liked put up, and an editor’s choose.
Our Canadian Shares
Here is a latest replace on our Canadian dividend portfolio.
Let us take a look at the Canadian Broad Moat 7 from January of 2021 by to the top of June 2022.
Canadian Broad Moat 7 vs S&P 500 (Creator, Portfolio Visualizer )
The Canucks have delivered at a CAGR of 18.3% vs. 1.9% for U.S. shares.
The Canadian Broad Moat 7 is actually flat in 2022, although we now have been helped by our Canadian energy stocks. The Broad Moat plus power (at 10% weighting) mixture has delivered optimistic returns in 2022.
In March of 2021, I had recommended that U.S. investors consider Canadian stocks. The valuation story was easy and apparent. It was (and is) much more apparent for power shares.
Here is the efficiency of the vast moat shares from January of 2015 to the top of June 2022.
Broad Moat vs S&P 500 from 2015 (Creator, Portfolio Visualizer )
For the interval:
- Canadian Broad Moat 8.4% CAGR
- S&P 500 10.4% CAGR
There was a pleasant alternative to rebalance from U.S. shares to Canadian shares into 2020. The Canadian shares are performing effectively within the present stagflationary setting. They’re extra inflation and stagflation pleasant.
Remember that Canadian shares vastly outperformed by the stagflation of the 70s, by the dot-com crash of the early 2000s and thru the monetary disaster.
From 2015, right here is the efficiency of the Canadian shares.

We will see that they’re all delivering in a really stable trend. Additionally, we now have skilled no dividend cuts with our Canadian or U.S. shares. We nonetheless have an ideal dividend file.
And for the retiree or semi-retiree, the Canadian shares ship a beautiful earnings supply. The next doesn’t embrace dividend reinvestment.
Broad Moat 7 Dividend Progress (Creator, Portfolio Visualizer )
From 2015, the portfolio would have began with a 4.1% yield, rising to six.2% in 2021. 2022 has delivered dividend will increase throughout the board. The dividend progress charge is 8.5%. That could be a very beneficiant annual elevate for the retiree.
For the power element of our holdings, I took the beneficiant income within the oil and gasoline index ETFs and moved to an power dividend method.
Eric Nuttall of Ninepoint Companions is assured that we’re in a golden period of free cashflow and dividend progress for oil and gasoline producers. Particularly for the Canadian producers.
As a semi-retiree, I like the thought of a core dividend progress earnings stream from our…
Canadian Broad Moat 7 + Canadian Power + U.S. dividend achievers
Whole return can be necessary, so do-it-yourself dividends will likely be part of the retirement earnings technique. That’s, we’ll promote shares to create earnings. To handle the sequence of returns danger, we maintain a modest quantity of bonds and money within the space of a 15% – 20% allocation for accounts.
Constructive Returns Over 1-year
Given the publicity to Canadian shares and power, and different commodities, our accounts are in optimistic territory over the past 12 months. My private retirement account is up over 4% in accordance with TD Direct, our low cost brokerage. Once more, U.S. shares are down virtually 10%. Worldwide shares are down by 20%.
There has not been a lot to sweat with this asset combine. That mentioned, our portfolios have fallen by close to 10% from their latest peaks.
Definitely, our portfolios would possibly fall far more in a severe recession. The portfolios ought to maintain up effectively sufficient if stagflation sticks round.
In any recession, I’ll sit up for rebalancing to power dividend payers. And, after all, I’m very keen on rebalancing to our U.S. holdings when or if outrageous worth presents itself. I will likely be grasping.
Whereas Canada provides essentially the most sturdy dividends on the planet, the U.S. holds the very best firms on the planet, for my part. It’s a fantastic mixture.
Thanks for studying. We’ll see you within the remark part. How was your first half of 2022?
