Understanding Dividend Investing

What are Dividends?

Dividends are payments made by corporations to shareholders, typically from profits. Dividend-paying stocks provide regular income in addition to potential capital appreciation.

DRIP (Dividend Reinvestment Plan)

A DRIP automatically reinvests your dividends to purchase additional shares, accelerating compound growth through both dividend growth and increasing share count.
