Dividend Strategy

Focus on regular payouts.

Long-termLow activityGeraldine Weiss

Core idea

The goal is a portfolio of companies paying reliable dividends — ideally stable or growing over time. Total return comes from both price appreciation and cash payouts.

How it works

You look at dividend yield, payout ratio, dividend history and the company's ability to fund the payout from cash flow. Reinvesting dividends amplifies compounding.

Pros

  • Ongoing cash flow
  • Focus on profitable, mature businesses
  • Psychologically comforting

Cons

  • A very high yield can be a warning sign
  • High-growth companies are often missing
  • Dividends can be cut
