Dividend Yield Mutual Funds
At least 65% in equity, predominantly in high dividend-yielding stocks.
Companies that pay out rather than reinvest — usually mature, cash-generating businesses. Steadier than the market, and structurally lighter on the fast-growing names that drive bull runs.
Who it suits. Investors who prefer cash-generating businesses and a gentler ride. Hold for 5 years or more.

Point-to-point CAGR from AMFI NAV history, Direct plans only. Ordered by five-year return so the list has a shape, not because the order is a judgement. Past returns do not predict future ones — a fund near the top is usually there because its style suited the last five years, and styles take turns.

Questions people ask
What is a Dividend Yield fund?
At least 65% in equity, predominantly in high dividend-yielding stocks. Companies that pay out rather than reinvest — usually mature, cash-generating businesses. Steadier than the market, and structurally lighter on the fast-growing names that drive bull runs.
Who should invest in Dividend Yield funds?
Investors who prefer cash-generating businesses and a gentler ride. A sensible holding period is 5 years or more.
How is this list ordered?
By five-year CAGR computed from AMFI's published NAV history, within one plan type. It is a sort, not a verdict — a fund near the top is there because its style suited the last five years, which is not a promise about the next five.
Should I choose the Direct or Regular plan?
A Direct plan holds exactly the same portfolio without the distributor commission, so its expense ratio is lower — commonly 0.5% to 1.2% a year — and it compounds ahead of the Regular plan for ever. Choose Regular only if you want an intermediary's advice and are content to pay for it annually.
