If you were told you can get paid to own shares in a company, while keeping all the gains from the shares, would you believe it?
Welcome to the world of 'dividends'.
Not only will select dividend-paying shares increase in share price (over time), but the dividend income derived from these shares have historically nearly always outpaced inflation- and by a long shot. Incorporating dividend-paying investments in a portfolio is an excellent strategy to solidify its strength.
You can also compound the growth by turning the income around and automatically reinvesting it!
