Learning the complex path of equities investments can be difficult, and those searching for higher returns often resort to investing in stocks that offer high dividends.
At its most basic level, a dividend is an amount taken from company profits and distributed among shareholders – generally in cash or more shares.
Regular pay-outs are a reward for investors trusting their money with particular companies. However, some businesses may decide not to issue them due to insufficient resources or wanting reinvestment for further growth.
