Rs 25,000 Bumper Dividend Portfolio: Over 30% Returns from dividends; Outperformed Nifty Smallcap Index!
We created a Rs 25,000 dividend-paying stock portfolio
Investors typically seek income from stock investments in two ways—capital appreciation and dividend income. The year 2024 proved to be a rollercoaster ride for investors, marked by geopolitical tensions, India’s General Elections, the US Presidential Election, and record outflows by Foreign Institutional Investors (FIIs) from Indian markets.
Despite these uncertainties, certain stocks delivered handsome dividends, providing a stable income stream. We created a Rs 25,000 dividend-paying stock portfolio at the beginning of Calendar Year 2024 with an equal-weighted allocation of Rs 5,000 in each stock.
The Results?
The portfolio generated dividend returns of over 30 per cent, significantly outperforming the Nifty Smallcap Index, which delivered approximately 24 per cent returns, and the Nifty50 Index, which offered 8.80 per cent returns.
Here’s the portfolio breakdown and the bumper dividends paid by these stocks in 2024:
This portfolio highlights the potential of dividend investing as a reliable income stream, particularly during volatile market conditions. With an equal-weighted investment approach, it demonstrates how strategic dividend-paying stocks can outperform broader indices and deliver superior returns to investors.
