The table below shows the average retention and dividend growth rates over the past ten and five years for a number of companies we have recommended. As can be seen, since 1999 these companies, as a group, had an average retention rate of 17%, or more than four times the average of the S&P 500 for the same period. Their average dividend growth rates for the past five years were also far superior to the S&P 500 -- even taking into account the three companies in the group not paying dividends for the entire period.
