9 Great Dividend Stocks From Cullen Capital

James Cullen managed Cullen High Dividend Equity fund (CHDEX) since 2000. He sifts through the universe of large companies using several criteria: stocks must have dividend payouts greater than the average yield of the S&P 500 (SPY), and they must have price-to-earnings, price-to-book, and debt-to-capital ratios below the S&P 500 average. Beyond that, the company should be likely to continually increase its payouts in the future. The fund can invest up to 30% of its assets in foreign stocks. The dividend stock pick strategy has worked well: in 2011, it returned about 10% and in the last three years, it returned 14% annually.
