Dividend Growth vs. High Yield: Which Strategy Wins?
When it comes to dividend investing, the debate today is usually between Dividend Growth and High Yield strategies which often sparks discussion among seasoned investors. Dividend Growth focuses on companies that gradually increase their payouts over time, but these increases usually start from a relatively low base. In contrast, High Yield strategies target companies offering substantial payouts right now, providing significant immediate income that can be reinvested to supercharge your portfolio through the power of compound dividends.
The question is, which strategy truly wins? At Fly High Investing, we lean towards High Yield, and here’s why: while Dividend Growth can slowly build wealth, it often takes years to see meaningful returns. High Yield, on the other hand, puts cash in your pocket today.
This immediate cash flow, when reinvested, accelerates the compounding effect, allowing your wealth to grow exponentially faster. With High Yield, you’re not just waiting for future growth—you’re harnessing the power of compounding right from the start, which can lead to more significant long-term wealth accumulation. The key for High Yield is to pick companies that can sustain the dividend and manage risk, that’s where our help throughout this site and our Portfolio can be beneficial, we do extensive research on each stock in the portfolio as noted here on Our Process, this can help benefit you from the analysis we have already done.
