Tata MF to launch Dividend Yield Fund
Kolkata: Tata Mutual Fund has lined up a scheme based on the concept of dividend yield. At least 70 per cent of its assets will be under normal circumstances invested in stocks that provide high dividend yield.

The proposed Tata Dividend Yield Fund, according to the offer document sent to SEBI for clearance, will choose scrips that have a relatively high dividend yield. The latter will be considered high if it is more than what was last released or published by the BSE.

It is generally believed that high dividend paying companies are rich in terms of cash generations from their businesses. Also, high dividend yield indicates underpricing for the stock (in spite of the cash generation). This is said to be critical for unlocking potential growth for the stock price.
