Brandes Institute: Income as the source of long term returns - Caversham - 01-15-2016

Here is yet another "professional" study confirming what members of this forum already know.

* Income provided a substantial part of long-term returns.
* Worldwide, stocks with the highest dividend returns had the highest total returns and the lowest volatility.
* For investors who focus primarily on their income stream, the volatility of the income from dividends was a small fraction of the volatility of stock prices.
