Dividends: Value of the Dax more than doubled
The Dax, Germany's most famous stock index, has experienced an impressive rise from 1,000 to 7,100 points since 1988. This increase is largely driven by the share prices themselves. But it is the dividend that has catapulted the DAX to its current level of around 18,000 points. The average dividend yield was an impressive 8.3 percent per year.
The importance of dividends for shareholders and investors has increased significantly over time. These regular distributions represent an attractive source of income and contribute significantly to the overall return. Since many companies will be paying out record dividends in the coming days and weeks, shareholders are looking forward to these dates.
The fact that the DAX would not even reach half of its current value without the dividends illustrates the immense importance of these distributions for the performance of the index. Dividends are expected to continue to play a key role in the growth of the DAX and offer investors attractive returns.
