In June 2019, Perpetual and Apex started using Rivkin Portfolios in their Separately Managed Account (SMA) offering that gives investors the opportunity to follow our proven strategies. Rivkin runs four portfolios that are offered through the SMA platform. Each portfolio is designed for a different investor type ranging from growth to defensive. Here you can find more information on our ASX Income Portfolio.
Portfolio Overview
The ASX Income portfolio will source investments from ASX listed securities. The portfolio has meaningful exposure to large-cap high dividend-paying stocks, and as such aims to generate returns from both capital growth and dividend income. Our suggested investment horizon is three to four years.

Investment Approach
The ASX Income Portfolio is predominately comprised of two underlying strategies, being our ASX Blue Chip and ASX Events strategies. We also invest in a small number of ETFs, covering asset classes such as gold and bonds in order to provide a balanced investment portfolio.
The Blue Chip strategy sources investments from stocks within the S&P/ASX50 only, meaning it is limited to the 50 largest stocks by market capitalisation. The strategy is loosely based on the ‘Dogs of the Dow’ strategy which gained a loyal following in the US due to its solid and consistent returns. The strategy sources the top 10 companies, based on their trailing 12-month dividend yield, with the aim of investing in large established companies that due to their high dividend, are either paying out considerable amounts of cash or whose share price may be currently suppressed. In order to avoid ‘value traps’, we exclude companies with a dividend yield above 10%.
The ASX Events strategy has been a mainstay of the Rivkin advice offering for over 20 years and has proved very popular due to its low-risk market-neutral approach. The strategy participates in corporate actions such as takeovers, where we aim to make small, low-risk arbitrages. While takeover arbitrage is the bread and butter of the strategy, we will also participate in other corporate actions such as company spin-offs, share buybacks, and rights issues. Irrespective of the corporate action, the common theme is that the potential return is not linked to the general movement in the share market.
Portfolio Management
The Blue Chip portion is assessed on a monthly basis, with changes made only if required. Typically, this will occur six to eight times a year on average. Event-style trades are entered into as opportunities arise, with such positions typically being held for two to four months in duration.
