How Do Dividend Yield Funds Work?

Investors often find solace in stocks that not only promise growth but also deliver regular dividends. Enter Dividend Yield Mutual Funds, a unique investment avenue that focuses on stocks with a penchant for paying out dividends. In this blog post, we'll delve into the workings of these funds, understand who stands to benefit the most, and explore some of the top-performing schemes that have dazzled investors with over 40 per cent returns in the past year.

How Do Dividend Yield Funds Work?

SEBI, the regulatory authority, mandates that a minimum of 65 per cent of the assets under management (AUM) in a Dividend Yield Fund must be invested in equity and equity-related instruments of high dividend-yielding companies. However, in a bid to enhance returns, fund managers often allocate more than the prescribed percentage to such stocks. The remaining portion of the corpus is strategically invested in other assets, aiming to bolster returns while managing risk effectively.

These funds, by design, tread the path of stability by investing in companies that are mature or fall under the Large-Cap category. This approach not only provides investors with relatively stable returns but also positions Dividend Yield Funds as a reliable source of regular income, primarily through dividend.

Who Should Consider Investing in Dividend Yield Funds?

If you're an investor seeking stability and a steady income stream, Dividend Yield Funds could be the perfect fit for your portfolio. These funds cater to those who prioritize regular income derived from dividends and appreciate the security that comes with investments in mature or large-cap companies.
