Beyond income … the hidden benefits of dividends
Dividends serve as a reliable indicator of company health. Indeed, research shows that higher dividend payouts lead to higher earnings growth in the following 10 years. They also provide a degree of security in uncertain times, as companies do not raise them if they think they will be unsustainable. Dividends contribute almost half to the total equity performance of European stocks, and they provide a relatively stable and attractive income source.

Investing involves risk. The value of an investment and the income from it may fall as well as rise and investors might not get back the full amount invested. Allianz European Equity Dividend is a sub-fund of Allianz Global Investors Fund SICAV, an open-ended investment company with variable share capital organised under the laws of Luxembourg. The value of the shares which belong to the Share Classes of the Sub-Fund that are denominated in the base currency may be subject to an increased volatility.
