A new generation of consumers - the Millennials - has become the largest demographic cohort in the country. This group, with new lifestyle preferences and different career goals, is demanding a new menu of sustainable products and services. There are now more than 80 million Millennials, born between 1982 and 2000 and ranging in age from their early 20s to their late-30s. This generation is the largest in history - bigger than even the Baby Boomers. Yet despite their size, and according to our research, Millennials currently account for 24% of total U.S income -- some $2.9 trillion in direct annual purchasing power, mostly representing older Millennials established in their work and families. Of course, Millennials are already coveted by marketers, even though their annual average income is 40% below the spending levels of the generation ahead of them (Gen X) and 30% below the spending levels of Baby Boomers, who are slowing down. That's because as Millennials rise into their peak earning years, their earnings are expected to grow. Disposable income will further rise as 30-something Millennials pay off their "mountain" of student debt. We have added the following stocks to our Millennial portfolio based on our latest review of fundamentals and consultation with our team of analysts.
