Dividends: A Stable Source of Passive Income
Dividends are essential to the overall profitability of stock investments, especially in times of economic instability. Well-established companies tend to distribute part of their profits on a recurring basis, providing a steady and predictable income stream for investors.
Furthermore, Allianz GI highlights the stabilizing effect of dividends on investment portfolios, which makes them an excellent option for those seeking diversification and security.
