High dividend investing: the income engine of an investment portfolio
Not all stock market returns come from rising share prices. Dividends have historically been an important contributor to long-term equity returns, providing investors with a regular stream of income while they remain invested in the market. High dividend investing focuses on companies with a strong track record of returning cash to shareholders, offering a combination of income, value and potential downside resilience.
WisdomTree's High Dividend ETFs are designed to help investors access these opportunities through a transparent and systematic process that emphasises dividend strength, company quality and attractive valuations.
Dividend yield and relative performance
Source: Siegel, The Future for Investors, 2005, with updates to 2025. 'Lowest', 'Low', 'Mid', 'High' and 'Highest' refer to five equal groups of stocks ranked by dividend yield. 'Lowest' represents the 20% of stocks with the lowest dividend yields and 'Highest' represents the 20% of stocks with the highest dividend yields. The chart shows the growth of $1,000 invested in each group from 1957 to 2025. Provided for illustrative purposes only. Historical performance is not an indication of future performance and any investments may go down in value.
