Latin American Dividend Stocks

Latin America, known to foreign investors as a high-risk but fast-growing region, doesn’t have to be quite so risky. By investing in dividend-paying stocks in Latin America, investors can trim that risk substantially and increase income at the same time. Dividend stocks in Latin America are, much like those in the developed world, mostly large blue-chip companies from industries such as electric utilities, mining, consumer staples, and financial services.

But be careful when investing in dividend stocks in Latin America. Because so many people have had the same idea that you have, in the U.S. dividend stocks can be expensive and investors can sometimes overpay for their shares. The same thing goes when investing in Latin America. In short, think before you buy and always take the stock price into consideration, in terms of its historical price and relative to its industry. And talk to your accountant before buying Latin American dividend stocks in particular to determine what the tax implications might be.
