Dividends are a form of payment made by a company to its shareholders. They are usually paid out once per year, and it is often seen as the most reliable way for investors to make money. However, dividend policy is not just about the amount and frequency of dividends. It also includes the type of business that a company operates in, its industry and size, as well as the country where it is incorporated. The factors that affect dividend policy are: - The size of the firm's investment portfolio, - The firm's profitability, - The firm's riskiness, - The firm's capital structure, and - The level of dividends paid by the company.

Dividend policy is a company's method of distributing its earnings among its shareholders. This can be in the form of cash, share repurchase, or stock dividends. It is also known as a distribution policy. The factors that affect dividend policy are the return on equity, the dividend policy, and the capital structure. The return on equity is the amount of profit that a company makes after all expenses have been paid. The dividend policy is how much money a company pays out to shareholders in dividends and how often it pays them out. Capital structure is the amount of debt and stock held by a company.
