In 2013, 2014, and 2015, they trailed the average returns of the diversified category by 4-5 percentage points. They failed to beat the large-cap category in 2015 as well, though they outperformed it in the other years. But since January this year, dividend yield funds have returned 0.56 per cent on an average. This figure is better than the 0.48 per cent clocked by diversified or multi-cap funds.<\/p>\n<p>If you hold dividend yield funds, you may be watching their inconsistent performance with some trepidation. What explains it? Much of it stems from the dividend yield strategy itself.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they are<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A dividend yield fund puts a majority of its portfolio in stocks whose dividend yield is higher than the Nifty 50, the Sensex, or the Nifty Dividend Opportunities 50 index. The remaining part of the portfolio can be invested in any stock. Dividend yield is the ratio of the dividend per share to its market price. In order to ensure that the asking price for this stable dividend is not too high, the dividend yield ratio comes into play.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #2baae2; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp?ref=blog-button\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold;\">Open<\/span> <span style=\"color: #fff; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\"> a FREE Account Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Stocks with a high dividend yield offer the possibility of earning good dividends. However, high dividend yield can also come from huge one-time dividends. Thus, consistency in dividend payouts matters. Typically, this indicates stability of profits, and that these companies are generally more cash-rich and reliable. High dividend yields usually are also a factor of relatively lower prices; i.e., stock prices are low and yields high because the market, at that time, does not prefer them.<\/p>\n<p>That brings up the second reasoning behind a dividend yield strategy. It is that these stocks are also undervalued or cheap. A dividend yield strategy therefore translates into a value-based one, often running contrary to the market sentiment. Being value funds, they also contain downsides better, 2008 and 2011 being testaments to this. The volatility of dividend yield funds, on an average, is lower than that of both diversified and large-cap funds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Done in by value<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The strategy of going after stocks with high dividend yields and low valuations came undone in the past couple of years. This is because the market ignored value and focused only on high-quality companies with growth visibility, regardless of valuations. The Nifty Dividend Opportunities 50 index has trailed the Nifty 500 index a good part of the time since 2013.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp#SignIn\" target=\"_blank\"><img loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/06\/Nifty-50-v-500-chart.png\" alt=\"20160607-Nifty-50-v-500-chart\" width=\"535\" height=\"296\" class=\"aligncenter size-full image-center wp-image-9231\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Last year, for example, stocks that offered good dividend yields belonged to financials, metals, oil and gas, power and capital goods \u2013 ICICI Bank, Axis Bank, Federal Bank, Coal India, Oil India, Power Grid Corp., ONGC, Hindustan Zinc, and so on. These sectors were all out of market favour, and banking continues to be so. Funds that held a higher weight here, such as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/UTI-Dividend-Yield-Fund-G-?c=3454\" target=\"_blank\">UTI Dividend Yield<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-Dividend-Yield-Plus-G-?c=301\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Sun Life Dividend Yield Plus<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/ICICI-Pru-Dividend-Yield-Equity-Fund-G-?c=17588\">ICICI Prudential Dividend Yield Equity<\/a>, saw their returns drop.<\/p>\n<p>This apart, dividend yield opportunities were also present in software, where funds had a 15-16 per cent exposure. With HCL Technologies, Infosys, and Wipro all having a bad time in 2015, fund returns took a hit. It did not help that other dividend regulars such as Colgate Palmolive, Hindustan Unilever, and ITC were either flat or dropped in the year. Auto was a consumer theme that soared and had good dividend yield stocks in Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp. But apart from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Principal-Dividend-Yield-Fund-G-?c=2337\" target=\"_blank\">Principal Dividend Yield<\/a>, most funds had smaller exposures to the auto sector.<\/p>\n<p>Similarly, in 2013, banking, industrials, metals, and energy were sectors that offered high dividend yields and were relatively better valued. These sectors, which were stark underperformers for 2013, together accounted for nearly half the portfolio of most dividend yield funds.<\/p>\n<p>Apart from sector weights bogging down returns, the funds\u2019 market cap orientation also played a role. Dividend yield funds maintain a dominant large-cap exposure of 50-70 per cent of their portfolios. In the mid-cap fuelled 2014 and 2015 markets, diversified funds that moved heavily into mid-cap stocks consequently saw better returns. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Birla-SL-Dividend-Yield-Plus-G-?c=301\" target=\"_blank\">Birla Sun Life Dividend Yield Plus<\/a> and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Tata-Dividend-Yield-Fund-G-?c=3087\" target=\"_blank\">Tata Dividend Yield<\/a> were the only ones to have a slightly higher mid-cap exposure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"blog-highlight\" style=\"clear: both; background: #f4f4f4; border: none; width: 60%; text-align: center; box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);\"><a style=\"text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/content\/jsp\/registration\/login.jsp?ref=blog-button\" target=\"_blank\"> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold;\">Open<\/span> <span style=\"color: #000; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\"> a FREE Account Now! <\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<p><strong>Individual performers<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>BNP Paribas Dividend Yield and <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Tata-Dividend-Yield-Fund-G-?c=3087\" target=\"_blank\">Tata Dividend Yield<\/a> are the only two of the six dividend yield funds (with a sufficient history) that have done well and maintained consistent returns across the years. BNP Paribas Dividend Yield has nearly double the playing field compared to peer funds as it has defined high dividend yield as above 0.5%, while others benchmark it to the Nifty 50 or Sensex. Apart from using this to its advantage, the fund also accorded more weight to the consumption theme over the past year and pared holdings in industrials and energy. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fundsindia.com\/products\/mutual-fund\/scheme\/Tata-Dividend-Yield-Fund-G-?c=3087\" target=\"_blank\">Tata Dividend Yield<\/a> followed a similar strategy, besides picking up winners in the software sector that some peers missed, such as Polaris Consulting and eClerx Services, which also sported high dividend yields.

Their name is derived from the strategy they follow; these funds do not have an onus to pay dividends. Due to the value-based strategy dividend yield funds follow, and the contrarian calls they make, such funds necessarily require a long-term time-frame. To hold such funds, you need to be willing to take these contrarian calls, and should have some risk appetite. Given that corporate performance, economic recovery, and therefore the markets have not panned out as expected, value picks have not worked. From here, a more broad-based market recovery based on improved fundamentals can help turn around the story for dividend yield funds.<\/p>\n<p><em>FundsIndia\u2019s Research team has, to the best of its ability, taken into account various factors \u2013 both quantitative measures and qualitative assessments, in an unbiased manner, while choosing the fund(s) mentioned above.
