What are dividends?
Dividends are payments an investment makes to share profits with its investors. Dividends are distributed in accordance with the prospectus and they are one of the ways that investors can earn from investing in a fund.
Are there dividend-paying funds on GFunds?
The ALFM Global Multi-Asset Income Fund (ALFMGMIP) from BPI Investment Management Inc. (BPI-IMI) is currently the only fund on GFunds with dividends.
The fund’s dividend payout is not fixed or guaranteed. It is also non-cumulative, meaning the fund is not obligated to pay any unpaid dividends in the future. Any previous dividend payments are not indicative of the future returns of the fund. However, the fund manager of the target fund strives to ensure that dividend yield is consistently provided on a regular basis.
