Strong Portfolio Growth With Dividend Investing

Given dividend growth investing has a reputation for being the strategy of choice for older investors and retirees, it sometimes suffers from certain misconceptions. There is occasionally a perception that dividend investing is not a growth oriented strategy and offers little opportunity to get strongly rising dividend income or generate significant capital growth. In my opinion, these views are incorrect.

While dividend stocks are well known for their consistent steady income potential, the fact is that there are dividend paying companies with exposure to faster growing sectors that are experiencing rapid dividend income growth as well as strong capital growth. Dividend paying companies can and do provide access to substantial wealth accumulation, if you are patient enough to have a long term strategy. For a younger investor, this not only opens the door to a consistent, high quality passive income stream for financial independence, but good long term portfolio growth as well.
