- Payout ratio does not applyThis is a fund. It distributes income received from its holdings rather than paying out of its own earnings, so a payout ratio is not a meaningful measure.
- Dividend has been cut 8 timesAcross 22 complete years, the annual total fell in 2019, 2022, 2024 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2024.
