The Power of Dividends Now


When inflation is up and many stocks are down, dividend-paying stocks may offer investors some unique benefits.


Key takeaways

  • Dividends have accounted for 40% of stock market returns since 1930 and 54% during decades when inflation has been high1.
  • When inflation has been high, the stocks that have increased their dividends the most have outperformed the overall market.
  • Dividend payments may help make a stock's total return less volatile.

The Impact of Uncertainty on Behaviour

There is an important distinction between risk and uncertainty (ambiguity). For example, when we roll dice, we can calculate precisely the odds of any outcome. And using actuarial tables, we can calculate the odds of a 65-year-old living beyond age 85. Uncertainty exists when we cannot calculate the odds.


An example would be the uncertainty of another attack such as the one we experienced on September 11, 2001. Unfortunately, investors often confuse the two concepts. The following is an example of confusing risk with uncertainty.

What's the deal with completing an IPS Questionnaire?

Recently, we may have asked you to complete an IPS questionnaire and you may be wondering why?


  1. The IPS (Investment Policy Statement) questionnaire helps us to determine the type of investor that you are: conservative, balanced income, balanced growth or growth
  2. That information allows us to determine the suitability of certain investments for your portfilio
  3. Investments that do not fit within your profile are flagged by iA Private Wealth compliance department as "unsuitable"
  4. Unsuitable investments must be replaced with ones that fit your profile
  5. It is mandatory to update the profile every 3 years or earlier if your situation changes
  6. In volatile markets, many investors have discover that their risk tolerance is much lower than they thought-- which requires a new IPS
