    All companies pay dividends twice a year at most

    Some property trusts and hybrid securities might pay more frequently - not sure - do some research

    There was an A-REIT/property trust that paid a quarterly distribution, GPT or the General Property Trust, but they are moving to twice yearly distributions like everyone else. A-REITs have distributions as opposed to dividends, same payout style without the benefit of franking credits.

    Dividends are paid by all the banks, the Wesfarmers/Woolworths duopoly, Cochlear, Telstra, industrials, major miners and most mid cap miners. Franking at various rates depending on various factors. Distributions are paid by pretty much all the major A-REITS.

    Well done for having an interest but keep learning some more about securities before you make some decisions. Know something about their business models, earnings, profitability, dividend yields. If you haven't done any reading yet, when I started out I found (don't laugh) the guide: Share Investing for Dummies a helpful start. Perhaps maybe look up the tutorial videos the ASX put on their website and youtube.

    To be clear, not every company pays a dividend every year. This is entirely at the discretion of management. They might keep profits to reinvest in the company.

    However, most companies in the ASX 50 ( I.e the 50 biggest companies on the australian stock exchange) will pay a regular dividend, usually every 6 months.

    Be aware that for tax purposes dividends are treated like income, so if you are already in a high tax bracket this may not be the best strategy for you. Speak to a financial adviser before commiting all your money.


    And good luck!

    Missed AngloSaxon's post but he hits the nail on the head.

    IFM was paying out over 10% per annum for a while (when it was < $0.25). Now it's over $0.60 so I don't think their returns are so good.
