About this data#
Payments come from ChartRow's own distribution record, one row per ex-date: the fund's income and capital gains distributions as it pays them, which this record does not tell apart. A payment more than 2.5 times the year's median is counted as a special and left out of the annual total. No yield is shown for a mutual fund: its distributions sum income and gains, so a yield over them would not be its income. Not investment advice.
