I have a low beta (about .60) portfolio and I do not want to beat the S&P 500. I do beat it on the way down, like the past week, but would be surprised if I beat it on the way up. My portfolio wide yield beats the yield of the S&P 500 by a wide margin. Over the 5 years since retirement, most of those dividends have been reinvested. I like the cash flows and I like increasing them through a combination of automatic reinvestment and letting dividends accumulate and selectively reinvesting those.
