Did you know icon

Did you know?

Dividend reinvestment has been responsible for a substantial majority of total equity returns over long periods: according to research from Hartford Funds, dividends accounted for approximately 40% of the S&P 500's total return over the past century when reinvested. Companies that consistently pay and grow dividends tend to be more mature, cash-generative businesses with disciplined capital allocation — characteristics that have historically led to lower volatility and stronger risk-adjusted returns than non-dividend-paying growth stocks. During the inflationary environment of 2022, dividend-focused equity strategies significantly outperformed the broader market, as investors rotated toward companies with real cash returns.
