3 Best Dividend Yield Funds To Invest In 2021
Dividend yield funds are mutual funds that invest primarily in firms that have the potential to pay out dividends regularly. According to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI), a dividend yield fund must invest at least 65 percent of its portfolio in dividend-paying securities, according to the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). The dividend yield fund's fund manager seeks to invest in firms with consistent cash flows and the ability to pay dividends regularly and consistently. During a slump, such businesses rarely lower their dividends.

As previously stated, the fund manager of these funds prefers to invest in companies with predictable cash flows. These funds often have a track record of delivering large dividends and have strong fundamentals.

Tax Advantage

The capital gains tax rate offered by these funds varies depending on the holding term and kind of equity exposure.

On dividend income distributed to residents, mutual funds deduct 10% and 20% Tax Deduction at Source (TDS), respectively. If the dividend income exceeds Rs 5,000, this is applicable. As a result, growth plans are recommended for investors.
