For over 25 years, Donaldson Capital Management has helped our clients enjoy dependable, rising incomes from their investments. Producing sustainable, growing income is as different from typical investing strategies as baseball is from boxing, and not all investment advisors have the same skills. We manage your assets like a charitable foundation – to deliver a dependable stream of increasing inco

me while lasting at least as long as you do. Our simple but uncommon investment strategy, investing directly in quality companies with consistently increasing dividends, has achieved that goal. And it has outperformed the S&P 500 over the past 3, 5, and 10-year periods. For investors seeking higher income and even lower volatility, we also offer portfolios that balance stocks with fixed-income securities such as investment-grade bonds and preferred stocks.

Over the last few months, the wall of worry for stocks grew remarkably tall. Investors wrestled with concerns over Iran, the Federal Reserve, inflation, interest rates, AI spending, a market leaning on a handful of stocks, politics, and a host of other uncertainties.

The S&P 500 remains within 3% of its all-time high, but the past few weeks have made for a bumpier ride. Choppy oil prices, higher interest rates, and questions surrounding AI investment spending have given investors plenty to think about.
