What is 'dividend yield' and how is it relevant for equity mutual funds?

0% of students got this wrong

EXPLANATION

Dividend yield is the annual dividend per share divided by the current stock price, expressed as a percentage. For equity mutual funds, dividend yield indicates the income component of portfolio returns. Dividend yield funds specifically target stocks with consistently high dividend yields — typically mature, profitable companies. High dividend yield may also signal undervaluation.
