If your grandfather had bought £100 in shares in 1899, and the dividends received had been re-invested in more shares, the pot would now be worth £25,022 adjusted for inflation. But without dividends, that original £100 investment would now only be worth just £213 in real terms.
Last bit doesn't sound right to me. Am I missing something?
If my Grandfather had brought £100 in shares in 1899 it would have been something of a miracle, since he wasn't born until 1920.
Does depend on the market that you are in though, they like their dividends in the UK, this is not true in every country. In others it is more common to reinvest profits in the business and the dividends can be a rarity.
Dividends make a huge difference. Here’s another example from Barclays.
