Investments that pay dividends

Designator

Hi all,
Just wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of good investments that I can put money into and that pay dividends regularly as a good started investment to make some money on the side. Any info is appreciated thanks

You could look at an ETF like these, to achieve some diversification: https://www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?assetClass=class-equity&groupField=none&sortField=ter&equityStrategy=Dividend&distributionPolicy=distributionPolicy-distributing&sortOrder=asc&replicationType=replicationType-full - the SPDR S&P Euro Dividend Aristocrats UCITS ETF seems like a not bad hit
However, be careful with tax implications on both the capital ("deemed disposal") and the dividend income.

The more tax advantageous approach while achieving the benefit of compounding interest is to invest in an accumulating ETF e.g. https://www.justetf.com/uk/find-etf.html?replicationType=replicationType-full&sortField=ter&groupField=none&equityStrategy=Dividend&sortOrder=asc&assetClass=class-equity&distributionPolicy=distributionPolicy-accumulating - still liable for deemed disposal tax,

or you could just look at what companies those ETFs invest in, and make similar purchases yourself directly. Avoid fees altogether.

Do you need to take the income now - what's the purpose of the investment?
