IN PLAIN ENGLISH
A composite score that rates a holding's income quality and risk on a 1-5 scale.
WHY IT HELPS
Gives a quick, comparable signal of dividend strength across holdings.
HOW IT'S CALCULATED
Weighted score of yield, beta (inverted, as 1 − beta), dividend cover, and payout ratio. A holding with no beta, as for most funds, is scored as if its beta were 0. The score is mapped to 1-5 using threshold bands in the app.
