What is a dividend? We explain how they can make you richer, how they work and why you might be getting them without even realising
Dividends are a saver’s best friend – they can turbocharge the value of your investments so long as you don’t spend them.
In this episode of the Big Money Questions, Markus Stadlmann, chief investment officer at Lloyds Private Banking explains what they are, how they work and how they can make you richer.
He takes us on a whistle-stop tour of the meaning of income versus growth investing – and also explains how a company decides what dividends to pay out and when.
And don’t think that you have to be a big investor to be affected by dividends. You may be profiting from them without even realising. Markus explains how.
