About Dividend Rotator Equity

Dividend Rotator Equity builds a 20-stock portfolio from the NIFTY 500 ranked by dividend yield, return on equity and balance-sheet strength. It rebalances once a quarter and is designed for investors who want a steady, low-turnover systematic equity strategy rather than active trading.

How it works

  1. Screens for dividend yield above the universe median and positive five-year dividend growth.
  2. Ranks by quality score (ROE, debt/equity, earnings stability).
  3. Holds the top 20 in equal weight; rebalances quarterly.
  4. Exits any stock that cuts its dividend or breaches a 10% stop.

White-box strategy: the provider discloses the rules above so you can judge the logic as well as the track record.

Risk notes

Lowest volatility algo on the marketplace, but returns are also moderate and can lag in strong growth-led rallies.
