【Prologue】──“Seeking the golden route to asset formation”
We are at a turning point in economic history.
The era of zero interest rates has ended, and inflation and high rates are normal.
At first glance, it may seem like an unstable era for investing.
However, this environment is actually the greatest opportunity to accelerate asset formation.
In the world of investing, there is a classic strategy: earn stable income while growing assets with compounding.
And this can be realized simply and efficiently by usingETF dividend yields.
ETF are financial instruments that allow diversified investment across stocks, bonds, real estate, and more.
Among them, ETFs that regularly pay dividends (distributions) are especially suitable for long-term investing.
Because you can receive dividends and reinvest them to maximize the power of compounding.
When the market crashes, dividend yields jump, making it an excellent buying opportunity.
Over time, dividends grow (increasing dividends), causing future income to snowball.
This is why you should not just observe the dividend yield, but actively use it to rationally grow your assets.
In this book, we will explain in detail how to do that over an entire volume.
This book covers globally popular ETFs — for exampleSCHD
(U.S. high dividend growth ETF),VYM (U.S. high dividend ETF),VT— (World stock ETF) and shares the latest data and practical thinking generously.
Whether you are a beginner or an experienced investor,
this book is written for everyone who wants to definitely grow their assets,
to deliver steady investment principles and actions in this book.
10years later,years later, when you look back,
you will think, “I'm really glad I knew this way of thinking at that time.”
Now, let's go together to seek the “golden route to asset formation.”
【Chapter 1】 Why focus on dividend yield now?
The tectonic shift of the world economy
There was a time when ultra-low interest rates and easing money swept the world.
Asset prices continued to rise, and investors were enveloped in the mood that “those who take risks win.”
But,2020s mid-decade, the situation changed.
Inflation.
Rising rates.
Fluctuations in currency value.
No longer is simply holding stocks a guarantee of rising prices.
Investors now need more than ever a strategy to increase assets while securing stable income.
Therefore, investment focusing on dividend yield has taken the spotlight.
1-2.Shift of income source from “capital gains” to “income gains”
Until now, many investors focused on “stock price appreciation” (capital gains).
They sought growth stocks and short-term price increases.
However, with more uncertainty, relying solely on capital gains is too risky.
Instead, an approach that emphasizes receiving regular dividends, reinvesting them, and increasing dividends over time—income gains—provides stable asset formation.
Dividend yield is a compass indicating the current steadiness of income.
1-3.In a high-interest era, “quality of yield” matters
When rates rise, simple yield alone ceases to be sufficient.
For example, if bond yields are 5% and stock ETFs yield only 4%, allure weakens.
But what matters is not the absolute yield, but the growth potential of the yield.
Bonds typically have fixed yields, whereas high-dividend ETFs can grow dividends as companies grow.
In other words, even if they start slightly weaker, over time high-dividend ETFs have the potential for explosive YoC (Yield on Cost).
This is the image of raising a “golden goose” through long-term investing.
1-4.Rising dividend yields create the best buying opportunities
Historically, the moments when dividend yields spiked—the times of maximum market fear—proved to be excellent investment opportunities.
Lehman Brothers crisis (2008)
European debt crisis (2011)
Covid crisis (2020)
In these crisis moments, dividend yields surged, and those who invested then earned remarkable long-term returns.
When fear peaks, dividend yields shine.
Only those who believed and acted could reap the fruits of asset formation.
