Is FSCS a good dividend stock?

What the data shows. These are observations, not recommendations — see the disclaimer at the foot of the page.

Yield is below the market median0.96% against a median of 2.78%. A lower yield is common among companies that reinvest more of their earnings or whose shares have risen.
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 3 timesAcross 9 complete years, the annual total fell in 2020, 2024, 2025. The most recent reduction was in 2025.
