One of my favorite ways to find investment ideas?
Stealing from Super Investors.
Super investors are investors with over $100M in assets under management.
Every quarter, they are required by law to reveal all of the moves theyβve been making in their portfolio.
These were the top 10 most frequently bought dividend stocks by super investors in Q4 of 2024:
MSFT β Microsoft Corporation π»π₯οΈ
FERG β Ferguson plc ποΈπ§
EFX β Equifax Inc. ππ
CVS β CVS Health Corporation ππ₯
TSM β Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited π¬πΎ
UNH β UnitedHealth Group Incorporated π₯π©Ί
SBUX β Starbucks Corporation βπ
LPLA β LPL Financial Holdings Inc. π°π
GOOGL β Alphabet Inc. ππ‘
BAC β Bank of America Corporation π¦π΅
Super investors love quality dividend growth stocks.
If youβve been subscribed to the newsletter for a while, you should know this.
But hereβs what is really interesting.
Many of the stocks on this list have been on the 10 Top Super Investor Buys list for multiple quarters in a row, and some for over a year.
For example, Microsoft was the most frequently bought dividend stock in Q4 of 2024, in Q3 of 2024, and was the 2nd most bought in Q2 of 2024.
Microsoft, CVS, UnitedHealth Group, Starbucks, and Google have all been on this list multiple times in the last year.
Buying Healthcare?
People need healthcare regardless of the economy.
This is why we typically see investors flock to healthcare stocks when fears of a bear market are growing.
Healthcare spending is not tied to economic growth. This makes healthcare stocks less volatile during downturns.
Healthcare stocks also pay consistent dividends.
Typically, super investors flock to technology and financial services stocks, and they still did that in the most recent quarter.
But there was a notable increase in the amount of healthcare stocks that were in the Top 50 Most Bought Dividend Stocks list this quarter.
This could indicate that super investors are becoming more defensive.
So what have the results been of the increased buying of healthcare stocks?
Vanguardβs healthcare ETF is up 5.33% in 2025, while the S&P 500 ETF is down -3.00%.
A fairly large outperformance for such a short period of time.
Thereβs a lot of value in looking at what individual super investors are buying and selling.
But there is even more value in conglomerating their buying data, and finding the underlying trends.
Here is the entire Top 50 list:

Iβm personally excited to see some of my top holdings on this list.
But who knows?
Maybe Iβll steal some more investment ideas from Super Investors in the near future.
