There can be something pleasing about owning a stake in a large, successful company that also has a juicy dividend. Take FTSE 100 insurer Aviva (LSE: AV) as an example. Despite the Aviva dividend being cut several years ago, the shares still yield 7.3%. How secure is the dividend – and could it go higher ...

Two income stocks I reckon investors should seriously consider buying for dividends and growth are HSBC (LSE: HSBA) and Aviva (LSE: AV.). Here’s why! HSBC As one of the world’s biggest banks, HSBC is a no-brainer buy in my eyes. Despite economic turbulence hampering financial services stocks, HSBC shares ...

I didn’t buy any Aviva (LSE: AV.) shares a year ago, but I did pick some up back in November. From both points in time, they’ve performed well. But how well exactly? What if I’d bought five grand’s worth of this FTSE 100 insurance stock a year ago? A strong performer One year ago, the Aviva share price ...

FTSE insurer Aviva (LSE: AV) has long been a core holding in my portfolio of shares that pay high dividends. After I turned 50, I significantly boosted the size of these high-yield investments, largely by selling growth stocks I owned. The idea is to maximise the regular stream of dividend income, so ...

Global stock markets started the year well. The S&P 500 is up 9.1%, while the Japanese TOPIX has leapt 14.2%. However, the FTSE 100 has added just 2.3% this year. Meanwhile, some of its constituents’ shares prices are doing well, including Aviva‘s (LSE: AV). Turning 24 I worked in the insurance industry ...

If I had no savings at 40 – or any other age – I’d set the ball rolling by purchasing a couple of great value FTSE 100 dividend shares. The blue-chip index is packed with them right now. Many are cheap and offer super-high yields. Typically, dividend stocks are never going to shoot the lights out. Instead, ...

For a new investor, buying UK shares can be a daunting experience. I may instantly recognise some of the names – Barclays, Tesco, Aston Martin – but there are probably hundreds of others I’ve never heard of. Also, there is the nagging question of just how much cash I need to start investing. £5,000? ...

I think that investing in FTSE 100 and FTSE 250 shares is one of the best ways to aim for a long-term second income. Through a combination of capital gains and dividend income, these UK share indexes have provided an average annual return of 11% in recent decades. While that’s impressive, I’m confident ...

I only recently bought Aviva (LSE:AV.) shares because I was slow to the party. As a result, I may have missed out on the best returns. The shares have been up and down for the past four years and dipped quite a bit throughout 2023. Because of this, I was initially put off and didn’t circle back until ...

UK adults spend over £2bn on lottery games every year despite never winning. As investing legend Warren Buffett once said: “No-one wants to get rich slowly.” Like most people, I buy the odd line. But I don’t delude myself that it’s likely to result in serious wealth (even though it could). After all, ...

Aviva’s (LSE: AV) share price has trended higher since the release of its 2023 results on 7 March. As a stockholder, this raises the question for me of whether there is any value left in the shares. If not, perhaps I should consider selling, as I have been considering for a while now. Valuation against ...

As an older investor — I was 56 this month — I’ve built a well-diversified, relatively low-risk, and high-yielding family portfolio. All being well, this pot will produce plenty of passive income for retirement. Potential forms of unearned income My wife and I hope to replace — or, ideally, exceed — ...

The Aviva (LSE:AV.) share price has flown at the start of 2024. Yet at 480p per share, the life insurance giant still offers dividend yields that trump those of most other blue-chip shares. For 2024, the FTSE 100 company carries a gigantic 7.1% dividend yield. This is far ahead of the index’s 3.8% forward ...

When Swiss multinational investment bank UBS puts in a ‘buy’ signal on FTSE 100 shares, it pays to listen. With $3.96trn of assets under management, the 162-year-old institution is the largest private bank in the world. Recently, UBS raised its price target on two companies I like, Aviva (LSE:AV.) and ...

Income stocks come in all shapes and sizes. However, as dividends aren’t guaranteed, I reckon it’s crucial to be diligent when buying stocks purely for passive income. Some characteristics I look for are a business with a strong moat, solid fundamentals, and a decent track record, as well as an attractive ...

The list of cheap shares on my watchlist has far outgrown my budget, leaving me in a tough position to decide what to buy each month.

Several stocks in the FTSE 100 index are great for generating passive income from shareholder dividends. It’s hard to choose between some of these high-yielding shares. However, one Footsie company just delivered a great set of full-year results, and it’s at the top of my list of candidates now. This ...
