Description
In this video I’ll reveal the 10 highest dividend paying shares in the FTSE 100. I will discuss their 5 year total return by looking at share price growth as well as dividend payments. Finally I will compare the performance to buying a simple FTSE 100 index tracking exchange traded fund as well as a high dividend UK ETF.
