Yield is above the market median4.38% against a median of 2.78% across US dividend payers.
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 12 complete years, the annual total fell in 2017, 2019, 2022. 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.
