Sector diversification is a core risk-management tool in dividend investing. High-yield sectors (Utilities, REITs, Financials) offer steady cash flow but limited growth. Growth-oriented sectors (IT, Healthcare) have lower current yields but higher dividend growth rates, making them suitable for long-term compounding strategies. Monitor sector yields periodically to rebalance your portfolio.
