SFDSA Creates New Stream of Income Through Dividend Stocks and ETFs

Under the strategic leadership of President Ken Lomba, the San Francisco Deputy Sheriffs’ Association (SFDSA) has developed a powerful new income stream through investments in dividend-paying stocks and exchange-traded funds (ETFs). This initiative reflects a years-long commitment to strengthening the Association’s financial future and building greater independence from dues alone.

A Proven Track Record of Financial Growth

Since taking office in 2018, President Lomba has focused on transforming the financial strength of the SFDSA. In the early years, the Association’s reserves were placed in high-interest savings accounts, later transitioning into certificates of deposit (CDs) to maximize returns with minimal risk.

As confidence and knowledge in financial markets grew, the SFDSA strategically expanded into ETFs and individual stocks—a move that proved fruitful. Today, the Association is leveraging that foundation to create an income-producing dividend portfolio aimed at generating consistent monthly revenue.

Diversifying with Purpose

The SFDSA has been actively investing in dividend-producing gold, silver, and copper mining stocks, taking advantage of both the upside in commodities and the passive income from yields. These investments are now being complemented with expansion into:

  • Traditional dividend stocks such as 3M

  • Emerging markets in robotics, AI, and automation that are starting to offer competitive dividends

This diversified strategy ensures both stability and growth as market conditions evolve.

Strong Results Already Showing

Recent estimates reflect how far the SFDSA’s financial strategy has come:

  • Current Month Income: $7,986.91

  • Next 3 Months: $11,860.89

  • Next 12 Months: $47,636.78

  • Estimated Annual Income: $47,701.21

These projections come from dividend yields and growth-focused investments that are now supporting the organization’s operations.

Financial Independence That Benefits Members

President Lomba commented, “Our mission is not only to protect and advocate for our deputies but also to ensure our organization is financially equipped to meet future challenges. We’ve created a model that prioritizes stability, growth, and independence.”

This additional revenue stream allows the SFDSA to fund more member services—from legal representation and training programs to wellness initiatives—without over-reliance on dues.
