Dividends

Dividends are the payments to shareholders. They are usually paid on an annual or half-yearly basis.  The size of dividend payments is usually linked to the financial performance of the company that issues the shares. It is at the discretion of companies, subject to approval by its shareholders, whether dividends should be paid.
