Dividend

Funds selected for above-average dividend yield, with various quality screens. High distributions reduce tax efficiency in a taxable account, but distributions are typically qualified — so the drag is smaller than holding a bond fund of equivalent yield.

28 funds in the catalog. Scored using methodology v0.3.0.
