Dearborn Partners Portfolio holdings
Dearborn Partners builds portfolios of companies it expects to keep raising their dividends, an approach it calls its Rising Dividend strategy. Three Chicago investment managers who wanted to offer more personal service joined together to form the firm in 1997. Carol Lippman, who began formulating the Rising Dividend approach in 1993 at another firm, joined in 2011 and manages the strategy, with Michael Andelman as co-portfolio manager. Dearborn also advises the Dearborn Partners Rising Dividend Fund, a mutual fund, and serves financial advisors, high net worth families and institutional investors.
