Global dividend yields are falling - but not if you know where to look

The Global Dividend category, a well-established segment of over 50 funds focused on dividend investing with over €75bn in assets, has seen a notable change recently. Historically, the average dividend yield for this group was around 3.5%. However, over the past five years, this figure has dropped to just 3% (source Van Lanschot Kempen, September 2024).
In this video Joris Franssen explains the two primary factors that have contributed to this decline. And how the Kempen Global Dividend strategy stands apart.
