Zero Dividend Stock Investment

[2020 ButClassic]

I need to redirect some investment to zero or near zero dividend equity. I am looking for large conglomerates or index funds, preferably not hyper growth type.

I have Berkshire B in mind. Any others that I should consider?

VTSAX (as an investment).
Or why don't you just do the research for index funds that don't pay dividends or quality growth stocks that don't pay dividends?

Tax drag is well known and has been discussed ad nauseam by many novice and seasoned investors. Don't try to invent a perpetual machine.

This makes only a small difference. 90% Vanguard Tax-Managed Capital Appreciation and 10% Tax-Managed Small-Cap has a 1.45% yield, and is a good approximation to Total Stock Market with a 1.73% yield. If you are in the top federal tax bracket, the 0.28% yield difference will save you 0.07% per year in taxes at a 23.8% rate; it could be 0.10% if you pay state tax as well. The expense difference is 0.05%.

If you are trying to do this for some tax-cliff and not just to avoid a little tax-drag than BRK.B sounds good to me, although I am a value investor anyways... Healthy chunk of AAPL too!

I question the "need" but you could cut your dividend in half using a growth ETF, like IUSG or SCHG. Unfortunately there is no true zero dividend ETF. I have played around with zero dividend stocks using a bucket of about 15 zero dividend stocks at M1 Finance. I've found the bucket tracks pretty well with NASDAQ and growth ETF's. https://m1.finance/WIMxH0FgmlkE

Yes, that is a legitimate point. However, the point is not so much about the taxes.

This is to manage the associated income, i.e., long term planning before retirement. The objective is to have control over the timing of income. A couple percent in yield translates to over $30k annual income which among other concerns may breach the ACA cliff.

I'm partially bought in to the "no dividend" focus and hold BRK/b.

There are others. In the S&P 500, there are 78 companies. You can certainly go beyond those.

I feel your pain: I want money, but not now. Your pain is my pain, but the strategy of dividends-free stocks only worth the risk from concentration?

No exactly 0 dividend, but someone in another thread came up with using:
Schwab US Large-Cap Growth ETF (SCHG) (https://www.schwabfunds.com/products/schg). Although it has a growth tilt, it is very diversified with 350 different stocks and it has a dividend yield of of less than 0.70%.

Also: only a 0.04% expense ratio
