Why is that, aren’t buy backs better for investors anyway? One reason I imagine is them being excluded from dividend etfs which would mean an outflow

- wombatpm 4y agoI can spend a divided. Especially if I have to take a mandatory distribution. You have to sell (at the right time) to get profit from a buyback
- jpgvm 4y agoYou are forced to pay tax when you get a dividend. Buybacks allow you to sell over time and achieve the same thing but with preferential tax treatment in most jurisdictions. Or more importantly not sell at all and not be forced to pay tax when you are just going to re-invest the dividend.
