This Dividend Investing Strategy Deserves a Second Look
Manage episode 495113698 series 2753
Amy Arnott, portfolio strategist for Morningstar Inc., discusses how a popular dividend investing strategy works, and who would or wouldn’t benefit from it.
On this episode:
- Let’s focus on when dividend reinvesting works as a strategy and when it does not. Who should consider reinvesting dividends?
- When shouldn’t an investor reinvest their dividends?
- Are there any differences between reinvesting dividends in a taxable vs a tax-deferred account?
- What types of dividends are taxable and non-taxable?
This part of the episode includes a correction: A response about which dividends are taxable versus nontaxable should have said, “If you're in a bond fund, most dividends would be taxable unless you’re investing in Treasury bonds, which would normally be exempt from state and local taxes.” We incorrectly said federal taxes.
- How long you’ve owned a dividend-paying stock matters when it comes to taxes. Can you explain the differences between qualified and non-qualified dividends?
- What kind of record-keeping does reinvesting dividends require, and how does reinvestment affect the cost-basis?
- How are considerations different for stock dividends vs fund dividends?
- What’s the final takeaway for the audience about dividend reinvestment?
