Dividend Guarantee: Blueprint for a secure dividend income

Have you ever lost money as an investor? Have you suffered big losses due to dividend cuts, and still struggling to recover? You invested a goodly sum in a trusted investment scheme, highly recommended by your broker (as once-in-a-lifetime opportunity). But then Covid19 happened, dividend cuts ran rampant, the investment scheme went belly up, and you lost it all. Trusted, licensed investment scheme great promise returns but don’t always deliver. For many ordinary investors this reality is a norm. The period from Q1, 2020 to Q2 2022 was a perilous and trying time in history for dividend income investors who were caught in the crossfire. It started slowly, stealthily but quickly picked up speed. Then as it gained momentum, left a trail of destruction and agony in its wake. It was a massacre of epic proportion. Barron’s have called it a “Dividend Massacre.” For the most part, it was a heinous investor bloodbath. The biggest challenge for modern investors today is dividend security. There is no universal mechanism for the protection of their investment and to ensure sustainable returns. The Dividend Guarantee marks a revolution in financial investing. The Dividend Guarantee offers hope – beyond mere words, it shows investors how to protect their investment capital in tough markets. The main purpose of the Dividend Guarantee is to secure dividend safety and protect shareholders and investors in instances of dividend cuts while seeking to preserve company capital and cashflow. An investment is generally defined as a deliberate ‘act of putting money, effort, time, etc. into something to make a profit or money, get an advantage, or more time.’ Therefore, whereas investors have a reasonable expectation of receiving a profit from an investment, the investment by definition, has a mandatory fiduciary responsibility of ensuring delivery of a guaranteed return on investment. Knowing the difference between an investment and a lottery or gamble is important. A scheme claiming that the return on investment cannot be guaranteed is not an investment; it is a well-disguised lottery or pyramid scheme. The risk in an investment is not a zero-sum - all or nothing, meaning one party's gain does not equate to another's loss. The primary risk is the opportunity cost of investing, a cost which can be repaired.
