Frequently Asked Questions
What is dividend growth investing?
Dividend growth investing focuses on companies that consistently raise dividends each year. A 4% yield growing at 7%/year doubles income in ~10 years — this yield on cost expansion is the strategy's core appeal.
What is a good dividend growth rate?
Dividend Aristocrats have grown dividends for 25+ consecutive years, averaging ~6-8% annually. Rates above 10% are possible but less sustainable long-term than steady 5-7% growers.
Rule of 72 for dividend doubling?
Divide 72 by the annual growth rate to find when dividends double. At 6% growth, dividends double in 12 years. At 9%, they double in 8 years.
