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


Listen Later

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.
