Frequently asked questions
What is dividend yield?
It is the annual dividend expressed as a percentage of the share price, showing how much income you receive each year for every dollar invested.
Is a higher yield always better?
Not necessarily. A very high yield can reflect a falling share price or a payout that may not be sustainable, so look at the wider picture.
