Good morning,
The average cumulative total return for our recommendations in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter based on our first recommendation date is 35.5%.
Note: Performance data is through market close 3/12/26, matching the performance data in our March 2026 edition.
For every $100 invested in one of our recommendations, you'd have, on average received capital appreciation and dividends worth an additional ~$35.
Buy and hold forever investing can create very high average cumulative total returns over time.
I expect our average cumulative total return to increase significantly over time as our average holding period increases.
We segment our total returns into 3 categories:
- Unsold past recommendations
- Sold past recommendations
- Sold past spinoffs
We have spinoffs in a separate category because we didn't actively recommend them.
All recommendations (all 3 categories) are included in our 35.5% average cumulative total return number.
Unsold Past Recommendations
Our unsold past recommendations (85 in total) have cumulative average total returns of 40.1%.
The image below shows them all. The most recommendations are redacted.
The above recommendations include two spinoffs that we haven't yet sold.
Sold Past Recommendations & Sold Spinoffs
Our only sell rule is to sell when a stock breaks its streak of consecutive annual dividend increases, by:
- Failing to increase its dividend
(flat year-over-year dividends)
- Reducing its dividend
(declining year-over-year dividends)
- Eliminating its dividend
As a result we have very few past sells.
As previously mentioned, we've also received spinoffs which we held and eventually sold.
Since sells by definition tend to be at least stagnating businesses, our sells have poor total returns.
But there are very few of them relative to our total number of recommendations. Our sells (including spinoff sells) have generated average cumulative total returns of -20.0%
Now that you've seen the strong cumulative performance of our long-term buy and hold dividend growth stocks in the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter, it's time to learn more about the newsletter itself.
Note: The Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter was previously the Sure Passive Income Newsletter. It's always been a buy and hold forever newsletter. We've increasingly focused on faster growth dividend stocks in the newsletter. Newer recommendations are likely to have higher growth rates than many of our older legacy recommendations.

Our Investing Method
Here's how we find the Sure Dividend Growth Newsletter Top 10 each month:
- Our ~15 person team puts in the work to find the best high yield growth stocks for our members by analyzing 900+ securities every quarter in the Sure Analysis Research Database (SARD).
- This is real analysis by our team, not a quick computer screen or AI guesswork.
- Every security is analyzed over the same investing metrics so we can compare different income securities to each other on an apples-to-apples basis.
“The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that’s always been my investing philosophy.”
– Peter Lynch
The end result is our top 1.1% buys for fast-growing dividend growth stocks to buy and hold for the long-run from our 900+ stock Sure Analysis Research Database (SARD).
And we don't stop after recommending a security. We provide actionable sell recommendations as needed as well...
Although our goal is to buy and hold forever so long as dividends keep growing.
