Sector: Mining

This is one of the most important sectors in the DividendMax product suite because of the sheer size and potential for Dividend payments. Many of these companies cut or held their dividends in the financial crisis. however, they are big companies and many of them are sitting with high dividend cover giving them scope for large dividend increases in the future. this sector is underpinned by demand from Chian and India and the fact that scarce resources tend to be inflationary. We follow some of the worlds biggest mining companies as many of them have a tendancy to float in London and at present, DividendMax is a U.K. only product. Companies that we cover include:

Anglo American

Antofagasta

Eurasian Natural resource corporation
