Dividends are regular payments that funds or companies make to their shareholders from their profits. They represent a way to earn passive income from your investments, regardless of market conditions.

What is Dividend Investing?

Dividend Investing also known as Income investing can provide steady income streams, potential for capital appreciation, and flexibility to live on the income or reinvest it. Many successful investors use dividend-paying income funds also known as ETFs (Exchange Traded Funds) as a cornerstone of their investment strategy.
