Dividends catapult the Dax to record levels
The Dax, Germany's most famous stock index, owes a significant part of its value to dividends. Since 1988, share prices have driven the Dax from 1,000 to 7,100 points, but dividends have increased its value to a good 18,000 points. With an average annual return of 8.3 percent, dividend distributions played a significant role in the development of the index. It turns out that the importance of dividends has become increasingly important over time.
The coming days and weeks will be particularly exciting for shareholders, as many companies will pay record dividends. This gives investors the opportunity to benefit not only from price increases, but also from regular distributions. The dividends therefore represent an important incentive for investors to invest in stocks and benefit from the income in the long term.
The fact that the DAX would not even have half of its current value without dividends illustrates the significant role that these distributions play for the index. In the future, the dividend will therefore continue to be a decisive factor that will further increase the attractiveness of German stocks for investors.
