Dividends are a Powerful Means of Increasing Long-Term Total Returns

  • The longer the time horizon, the more important dividends are in generating total equity returns through the power of compounding.

  • During the past 30 years, re-invested dividends have provided a larger portion of world stock-market total returns than price appreciation.

  • While stock prices have appreciated by a factor of almost 10 since 1973, total returns have increased by some 24 times.
