- 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 25 complete years, the annual total fell in 2015, 2020, 2022 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2022.
- Raised for 3 consecutive yearsDerived from split-adjusted payment history and approximate; treat it as a relative signal rather than a certified record.
