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 7 timesAcross 16 complete years, the annual total fell in 2021, 2022, 2024 and earlier. The most recent reduction was in 2024.
Pays monthlyPayments arrive twelve times a year rather than the usual four, which suits income being drawn rather than reinvested.
