What is Dividend Investing?
Some investors, such as retired people, need a reliable source of income. With equities, you might need to sell your shares in order to realise gains if a stock increases in value. Fortunately, it is possible to generate passive income through equities investing, without even selling!
Welcome to the world of dividend investing.
The portion of a company's profit that is delivered to the shareholders is known as a dividend. When you invest in dividends, you purchase the stocks of businesses that regularly pay dividends. As a result, you have a passive income stream and portfolio's market value increase.
What Are The Benefits?
Value for money : These stocks are usually less risky and don’t lose much value in market downturns
Fight inflation : Growing dividend yields will help you fight against the rising inflation rate and void it
Passive Income : You get a much higher return in the form of passive income compared to Fixed Deposits or Recurring Deposits
Capital Appreciation : Along with the dividend the company pays out, the rising stock price is another source of profit for you
