Alternative ways to invest in RSA Insurance Group

• Via a fund
• Via a FTSE 100 ETF

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including RSA Insurance Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

RSA Insurance Group is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

• Does RSA Insurance Group pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 1.17% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 1.17% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 25.81% of net profits

  RSA Insurance Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.17% of its share value annually.

  RSA Insurance Group has paid out, on average, around 25.81% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.17% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 1.17% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In RSA Insurance Group's case, that would currently equate to about 8 per share.

  While RSA Insurance Group's payout ratio might seem fairly standard, it's worth remembering that it may be investing much of the rest of its net profits in future growth.

  The latest dividend was paid out to all shareholders who bought their shares by 11 November 2020 (the "ex-dividend date").

• Have RSA Insurance Group's shares ever split?
