1) When you're young/beginner and you're looking at investing for the first time. Being a Financial Advisor, I've found that a year of starting my beginners of on dividend funds has been really encouraging for them, to see their returns come in month after month.

ā€‹

2) When you're old. Most of them will then transition into funds that have signficant growth, because dividend funds tend to be limited via bonds with leverage on the bonds itself or currency, or just REITs - either way, they don't tend to surpass a 9% mark, while going into equities gives you that chance. So as fun as it is to see dividends every month, you're not likely to use them as a young investor.

So when you're old, most people transition from their 80-20 Equity-Bonds into more bonds, and more fixed income, and by extension something that provides them with more dividends.

ā€‹

The best age/time is really about your scenario and risk appetite.

Fixed income is one of my investment specialties. I have funds that do 4.2% up to 8.66% annually, depending on your risk. You can always reach me if you'd like to explore.
