Our core strategy

Investment management you can understand.

The core investment philosophy at Settlement Capital Advisors is straightforward: own great companies, hold them patiently, and let dividends do the heavy lifting. It's the strategy this firm was built around — and the foundation we coordinate other tools and approaches against, depending on what a client's situation calls for.

The strategy

Extreme value. Large-cap dividend growers.

This approach centers on disciplined ownership of high-quality, dividend-paying companies, with dividends automatically reinvested for long-term compounding. The cornerstone of how this firm has invested since its founding — applied alongside other strategies suited to a client's goals.

01

Large-cap dividend growers

We focus on established, large-capitalization companies with durable businesses and a track record of growing dividends — selected against strict standards for price, performance, and quality.

02

Dividends, reinvested

Dividends are automatically reinvested. Over time the math compounds: more shares produce more income, which produces more shares.

03

Conservative, long-term

Portfolios are managed for conservative, long-term dividend gain — not short-term price action or trend-chasing.

Inspired by Graham & Buffett

Time-tested principles, applied with discipline.

Our strategy draws on the value-investing principles of Benjamin Graham (1894–1976) and his famous pupil, Warren Buffett.
i

Know what kind of investor you are

Strategy starts with self-knowledge. We define what success looks like for you before building a portfolio around it.

ii

Invest with a margin of safety

We pay attention to price as well as quality — buying durable businesses when the math gives us room to be wrong.

iii

Expect volatility — and profit from it

Markets move. A long-horizon strategy uses volatility as an opportunity, not a reason to react.

Research that matters

Sound insights drive sound decisions.

SCA investors benefit from the work of established research analysts covering equity and fixed-income markets — in the U.S. and around the world. Their work helps us identify risks and opportunities that support our large-cap dividend strategy and inform other investment activity tailored to your circumstances.

Getting started

Account minimum of $100,000.

New client relationships at Settlement Capital Advisors begin at $100,000 in investable assets. The threshold lets us stay intentionally selective — and provide the depth of planning, coordination, and stewardship every client should expect from us.

Freedom from worry

A strategy built for the long haul.

Personal injury victims, attorneys, and select individual investors can take comfort in knowing SCA is carefully managing their wealth. While no investment is ever guaranteed, our large-cap dividend strategy is built around the kind of long-term discipline that has demonstrated value through full market cycles — and we coordinate it with the other tools and approaches a given situation calls for.
