Quant Radio: Is the Best Dividend Strategy to Avoid Them?

Dividend investing has long been seen as a reliable path to wealth, but what if there’s a smarter approach for taxable investors?

In this episode, we explore compelling research that questions the value of dividend-focused strategies and introduces a value-based alternative designed to reduce tax drag and boost after-tax returns.

You’ll learn:

• Why dividends have such strong emotional appeal—and why that can be misleading

• How taxes quietly erode returns over time

• The mechanics of a “non-dividend dividend strategy”

• Pre- and post-tax results that strongly favor value over yield

If you're focused on long-term wealth and efficiency, this episode offers a thoughtful perspective worth considering.
