Dividend growth investing focuses on companies that increase their dividend payouts consistently over time, providing a rising income stream and potential capital appreciation.
The 10-11-12 system by Marc Lichtenfeld helps investors find dividend growth stocks by screening for companies with at least 10 years of dividend increases, a return on equity above 11%, and a yield on cost of at least 12%.
Compounding dividends, where reinvested dividends generate more shares that produce further dividends, can significantly boost long-term investment returns.
UK investors can apply the 10-11-12 system to screen FTSE-listed companies and diversify holdings across various sectors to mitigate risk.
Using tax-efficient accounts like ISAs and SIPPs can enhance the benefits of dividend reinvestment by shielding dividends and capital gains from tax.
