Chinese companies are enticing investors with record dividend payouts and share buybacks.

Last year , Chinese listed firms paid out a record 2.4 trillion yuan ( $328 billion ) in dividends.

Goldman Sachs estimates that Chinese companies' cash distribution could hit $3.5 trillion this year .

Dividend yield on Chinese stocks also climbed to around 3% , the highest level in nearly a decade .

Investors are being paid for their patience, says Julius Baer's chief investment officer for Asia .

Dividends get cash into the hands of households, and attractive yields will draw investors back into the stock market.

"To be paid a very high-dividend yield, while waiting for [a] catalyst, is a pretty good trade," says Rayliant Global Advisors's Hsu .
