Abstract:
Investors have long used historical stock prices to evaluate future returns, as well as the risk associated with the estimated returns. In this paper, we propose a method for evaluating risk based on historical dividend payments. We develop a Monte Carlo simulation to generate future dividends and calculate the mean internal rate of return. We apply data analytical techniques to model estimates and use them to define a dividend risk ratio. We conclude that the newly defined dividend risk ratio provides essential information to dividend investors and is a useful tool in portfolio management.
