Geraldine Weiss (born March 16, 1926) is the co-founder of Investment Quality Trends and is nicknamed "the Grande Dame of Dividends" and "The Dividend Detective" for her unconventional value approach investment style by focusing on a company's dividends rather than earnings.
As the co-author of Dividends Don't Lie and The Dividend Connection, Weiss popularized the theory of using dividend yield as a valuation metric by indicating that there is a strong relationship between a company's ability to pay dividends over time and the performance of the company in the stock market.
Weiss is regarded as one of the most successful female investors in a traditionally male-dominated profession.
