Dividend Stocks Deliver Long-Term Returns with Less Risk Compared to Growth Strategies

Dividend stocks are an important part of many investors' portfolios, providing income and appreciation potential. High dividend and dividend growth strategies both perform well over time.
High dividend stocks have outperformed the broader market and dividend growth stocks over the long term, though performance over shorter periods varies.
Over the past 3 years, the high dividend Select Dividend ETF (DVY) has been the top performer compared to the S&P 500, NASDAQ 100, and a dividend growth ETF.
Dividend investing provides less volatility and risk compared to growth strategies, though it lacks the excitement of high flying growth stocks.
Investors should stick to dividend investing strategies despite temptations to chase recent outperformers, as patience and discipline tend to pay off over time.
