All investing should be regarded as longer term. The value of your investments can go up and down, and you may get back less than you invest. Past performance is no guarantee of future results. If you’re not sure which investments are right for you, please seek out a financial adviser. Capital at risk.

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 Experian), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

Experian 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

Dividend yield: 1.24% of stock value
Forward annual dividend yield: 1.24% of stock value
Dividend payout ratio: 45.65% of net profits

Experian has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 1.24% of its share value annually.

Experian has paid out, on average, around 45.65% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 1.24% 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 1.24% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In Experian's case, that would currently equate to about 59.8 per share.

While Experian'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.

Experian's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.
- TransUnion (TRU.US): 0.54% (0.54% forward annual dividend yield)
- Equifax (EFX.US): 0.76% (0.76% forward annual dividend yield)
- Fair Isaac Corporation (FICO.US): (does not pay dividend)
Experian's shares were split on a 43:50 basis on 12 December 2005. So if you had owned 50 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 43 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your Experian shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 16.3% higher share price could have impacted the market appetite for Experian shares which in turn could have impacted Experian's share price.
It's as easy to sell Experian as it is to buy! Here's how to sell Experian shares that you already own.
1. Open your investment app. If you've got one with desktop access, you can log in online
2. Go to your portfolio. This should be in the main menu
3. Find your shares. You may be able to search your portfolio
4. Choose how many you'd like to sell. You'll be able to review the price and see how much you'll receive
5. Sell your Experian shares. Your investment platform will let you know when your shares are sold
