FAQs
Most fund houses select ‘High Dividend’ companies by comparing their dividends yield with a benchmark index like Sensex or Nifty 50. For example: If the dividend yield of Nifty 50 currently is near 1.25, a fund house would prefer investing in companies having a dividend yield higher than 1.25.
Most dividend yield funds invest about 75%-80% of their capital in high dividend-paying companies. The remaining corpus is invested in companies’ stocks with high returns potential in the future.
The trick here is to invest in companies with low dividend yields or no-dividend pay that would provide good returns if they are undervalued, provided their fundamentals are strong.
Dividend yield funds are generally stable and are a good investment for those looking for low volatile stocks. These funds are not recommended for aggressive growth-seekers, but they prove to be a good addition to most investment portfolios.
A reasonable dividend yield depends on the market conditions, but an average yield between 2% to 6% is considered ideal.
Mutual fund share prices fall after paying dividends because the money paid as dividends is extracted from the existing assets of the fund.
Dividend Yield funds focus on the dividend yield of stocks. They are appropriate for investors who are looking to invest in equity funds but with a low level of volatility in their investments. These funds are invested in companies that are generally stable and hence are best suited for the following groups of investors/individuals:
- Low-risk appetite- Investors who do not prefer to take high risks and prefer to let go of better profits without exposing themselves to market risks.
- Diversified portfolio- Those willing to have an all-around investment and assess risk on a large scale should invest in Dividend Yielding funds, thereby assisting the investor in having a diversified portfolio.
- First-time investors- These funds provide minimal risk-investment routes for limited periods and are best for those investing for the first time in mutual funds.
- Short-investment horizon- These funds generate high returns even in short time frames; hence it is a good investment for those who do not want to wait for long spells to gain returns from their investments.
- Regular income- Investors who are hoping for a regular income from their investments, even though a low one, should consider investing in these funds.
