High Return Investments

High Return Investments Backed by Data

Many people are looking for high return investments that will help them achieve their long-term goals, but they also want the security of knowing that what they invest in is stable.

At Lincoln Indicators, our proprietary quantitative methodology, proven for over 35 years, allows investors to find financially healthy and quality stocks that deliver strong performance over the long-term. Whether you require income, growth, or international diversification, we have a high return investment solution for you.

We invest your money into fundamentally healthy stocks that deliver strong capital appreciation over the long-term. By looking through the financials of the 2,000 stocks listed on the ASX, our quantitative analysis can rapidly eliminate around 75% of stocks deemed as a high-risk investment.

Our approach is also able to highlight hidden gem stocks that aren’t on the radar, sitting outside the high profile lists such as the ASX200. This allows us to deliver strong, risk-adjusted returns that protect against downside volatility.

What are High Return Investments?

Understanding the risk vs. return ratio

When an investor is seeking a high return investment to add to their portfolio, they must weigh risk against return. The risk vs reward ratio is an investment principle that relates risk to return. The riskier an investment is, the higher its potential returns can be. Determining the risk vs. reward ratio requires considering many factors such as an investor’s risk tolerance, ability to replace lost funds, and the potential loss of capital.

When considering high return investments, it’s important to understand the risk vs. return ratio on both individual investments and across portfolios when making investment decisions. At Lincoln Indicators, we take all of these factors into consideration to help you optimise your portfolio with risk-adjusted high return investments

At Lincoln Indicators, our high return investment solutions are suitable for a range of investment objectives and risk tolerances.

We focus on businesses with strong competitive advantages and sustainable growth prospects in their industry so that our clients can earn strong returns while managing risk effectively, whatever their investment objectives are.

What Is The Difference Between Dividend and Growth Investments?

Investors assess the stocks to invest in using several factors. Some pursue price changes and trends; others invest based on the type of industry involved. To become a savvier investor, it’s necessary to define your investment objectives and risk tolerance to guide your investment decisions.

One common approach is to focus your high return investment strategy on either income (dividend) or growth investments—the difference between the two lies mostly with your investment objectives and risk profile.

With dividend investments, the company profit is declared and distributed among investors in the form of a dividend payout (income). With growth investments, surplus is reinvested back into the business, leaving profits to be materialised only when stock is sold or redeemed.

Dividend stocks are often considered to be safer or more stable investments than growth stocks, however, this is not always the case. It’s important to conduct your due diligence when determining what investment objective is appropriate for you.

Growth stocks often come with higher risk, but the degree of risk is proportionate to the potential gains.

With Lincoln Indicators’ Stock Doctor, you have access to exclusive Star Stocks that have been identified based on our proven methodology for either income or growth objectives. If you prefer a more hands-off approach, we have a range of managed funds to suit your investment goals by applying the same proven methodology in stock selection.

The two investment types have their appealing points to investors. Below we’ve listed other striking differences between the two:

• Stability: Dividend investments offer greater stability over time as opposed to growth stocks which pose a higher risk but may have a higher return. It will depend upon your overall time sensitivity and risk-appetite as both options can offer high return investment opportunities.
• Dividend payout: With growth investment, excess returns and profits are generally reinvested back into the company. For dividend paying companies, excess returns and profits are often paid out regularly to the investors as dividends.
• Capital gains: Profit for growth investment is only obtained when the stock is sold at a higher share price, whereas, in dividend investment, shareholders will be paid dividends at periodic intervals on top of profit from the sale of the stock.
• Type of Company: Companies that offer dividends tend to be more established as they need to have a steady cash flow, while growth stocks are generally more volatile due to the size of the company.

Time Horizon: Investors that are uncertain of their duration within the market often choose dividend investments, whilst those with less time sensitivity and a higher risk-appetite may be inclined to invest in growth stocks

High Dividend Stocks or High Growth Stocks?

Deciding where to invest is dependent on your investment objective and risk appetite.

With Lincoln Indicators, you can confidently invest in income or growth stocks, or diversify your portfolio and invest in both dividend and growth stocks.

Whether you are looking for income or growth investments; or a combination of the two, our team can help you invest with confidence, control and peace of mind, whatever your investment objectives may be.

We Look at the Financial Health of Your Investment

There are several indicators to determine whether an investment is financially healthy. Some of these indicators include the free cash flow, return on investment record, etc. Most of these records are indicated in a company’s financial records.

As an investor, determining the financial health of your investment involves a lot of work in terms of research and learning.

If you decide to determine the financial health of an investment yourself, you will need to analyse the financial records of whatever company you want to invest in. This includes analysing indicators like its earning per share (EPS), price earning Ratio (P/E), profitability, growth in sales, expense ratios, Sharpe ratios, and many others.

With Lincoln Indicators, however, you can save yourself the time and potential risk. Our Managed funds are informed by the financial statements of companies on the Australian and U.S. stock exchanges, so that you can rest assured that we are making informed investment decisions.
