Dividend Investing Strategy for Financial Independence – Mar 2023

What are Dividends?

Here’s an excerpt from Wikipedia:

A dividend is a distribution of profits by a corporation to its shareholders. When a corporation earns a profit or surplus, it is able to pay a portion of the profit as a dividend to shareholders. Any amount not distributed is taken to be re-invested in the business (called retained earnings). The current year profit as well as the retained earnings of previous years are available for distribution; a corporation is usually prohibited from paying a dividend out of its capital. Distribution to shareholders may be in cash (usually a deposit into a bank account) or, if the corporation has a dividend reinvestment plan, the amount can be paid by the issue of further shares or by share repurchase. In some cases, the distribution may be of assets.

Dividend Investing Strategy: Summary

  • Last month, A&E paid us 6.50 and this month, 22.96. Why? We had a lot of exposure to the financial sector and tried to cut a bit of that with POW. We still have POW, but since A&W pays monthly, we decided to invest into our TFSA. We found A&W because we’re using 5i Research.
