After all, what is the best dividend portfolio?

This is a very common question for those who are starting to invest. However, it is important to remember that when it comes to investments, there is no single option.

Of course, return is an important factor. However, you need to take other things into account, such as your investor profile, financial goals, asset risks, liquidity and much more.

What are dividends?

First of all, it is essential that you know exactly what dividends are.

The dividends, in fact, they are the portion of net profit that a publicly traded company (a company whose shares are listed on stock exchanges) distributes to shareholders.

When a person buys shares in a certain company, they become a “partner” in the business.

By becoming a shareholder, the person gains the right to receive part of the company's net profit, depending on the number of shares they own.

According to article 202 of Law 6,404/76 (Law of Corporations), companies listed on the stock exchange that have net profit must distribute a portion of it to all shareholders.

However, there is no mandatory minimum percentage to be divided among shareholders. However, companies often adopt a minimum percentage of 25%, so that the shares become more attractive.

In other words, companies pay good dividends to reward shareholders and attract new investors.

What stocks pay dividends?

Preferred shares (PN) are the shares that give investors priority in receiving dividends.

There is a minimum percentage of resources that must be distributed to shareholders.

In fact, in the event of the company's liquidation, those who hold preferred shares also have preference in receiving amounts, that is, if there is an amount to be paid.

Common shares (ON) offer the right to vote at corporate meetings. Shareholder participation depends on the number of shares they hold.

Another difference between preferred shares (PN) and ordinary shares (ON) is the ticker – code used on the stock exchange to identify a specific asset.

Code 3 represents a company's common shares. An example of this is the code VALE3, which represents Vale's common shares.

Code 4 refers to preferred shares.

As we said, it is not possible to define what is the best type of investment.

After all, there are several factors involved in this, such as your investor profile, the current financial reality and, obviously, the market situation.
