Emphasizing Growth in the Income Stream

Being a dividend investor in the stock market requires focusing on the growth aspect of the income stream rather than just the income itself. While other assets may offer fixed returns, equities provide the opportunity for income growth over time. In the current market scenario, investors have access to various non-equity income streams, creating a competitive landscape for dividend managers. This shift brings the focus back to the fundamental question of why one should own equity, which is for the potential growth in the income stream alongside the income itself.
