Buy Hold Sell: 5 stocks with sustainable and fully franked dividends

Buy Hold Sell, by Livewire Markets

Franking credits are important for many investors, particularly those operating in a low or no-tax environment. A company paying a 5% fully franked yield, for example, gets grossed up to around 7% after franking. Juicy.

More than half of the companies listed on the S&P/ASX200 either fully pay or partially pay franked dividends, and it is important to know the relevant franking level.

With that in mind, Livewire's Ally Selby recently sat down with Peter Gardner from Plato, and Andrew Fraser from Merlon to discuss five stocks with sustainable and fully franked dividends.

For those unfamiliar with franking, they also discuss why franking is important and how it factors into their respective investment processes.
