Dividend yielding MFs back in limelight: Top mid-cap and small-cap stocks they hold

The category delivered about 11 percent in the last one year, while the Nifty 500 TRI generated 6 percent. Here's a list of top mid-cap and small-cap stocks held by the eight dividend yield schemes as of May 31

 

Dividend yielding mutual funds have become one of the top categories among equity funds on generating higher returns over the last one-year time frame. The category delivered about 11 percent in the last one year, while the Nifty 500 TRI generated 6 percent.

Mittul Kalawadia, fund manager of ICICI Prudential Dividend Yield Fund, says, “Generally, at the market bottom dividend yield becomes attractive for a lot of stocks.

As the market recovers there is value unlocking taking place. At the same time, there is also an economic recovery playing out leading to an earnings growth for reasonably priced stocks.

This leads to stocks getting rerated. So, there is twin benefits on earnings front and rerating which has led to the recent outperformance”. If it is a bearish market led by recession, there can be volatility in the initial phase.


On the other hand, if it is a market correction with sound economic parameters, then this strategy is a good defensive bet on a relative basis, Kalawadia adds. Here are the top mid-cap and small-cap stocks held by the eight dividend yield schemes as of May 31, 2022. Source: ACEMF.
