RDVZ Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 Do any statistics exist for the dividend return on shares for FTSE100 companies? Would 5-6% be a reasonable return for big name, relatively safe companies? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest_ringledman_* Posted February 2, 2011 Share Posted February 2, 2011 You could take a look here: http://www.topyields.nl/Top-dividend-yields-of-FTSE100.php The real return after inflation is probably closer to 3-4% but this way beats the return on blonds, property, gold over the long term (20 years plus).

I know its all based on opinion but I feel the prices of equities are very high at present which could mean a greater than normal risk to your capital. I would probably identify a number of large companies with generally a fairly static price range who pay a decent dividend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
