Fund picks and pans stocks

Posts Tagged ‘dividends’

I have a 401k at my company, and I have 3 stock index funds in which I participate. Over the last year, I have NOT received a single dividend or capital gain on any fund. I have never seen this happen before, I always received dividends on index funds I have bought in the past.

I called the 401k department and they were of no help. They told me the dividends are reinvested back into the fund itself to bring the cost of the fund down…..I do not think that sounds right though…nor do I think its right considering the same fund cost is exactly what yahoo finance says the fund cost is.

If anyone could shed some light on this I would really appreciate it
Let me add some more details. The fund is something called a comingled fund. It does not really have its own prospectus per say, but it does hold 100% of Vangaurds Total Stock Index.
When I look at my statement online, there has not been a single transaction in the last 6 months…when I last worked there. However, I would would still expect to get dividends reinvested but I got nothing. I have the same amount of shares as when I left. I know for a fact the Vangaurd fund paid dividends this part year…so you see my point?

I called the 401k department and they told the dividends get revinvested into the fund itself and I do not see anything. They said this is a "special" arrangement and no dividends are paid to the owners. Personally, I think someone is skimming the dividends, I just have no idea how I would ever find that out.

Let’s say a stock, XYZ is the ticker, pays a 7% dividend. I buy 100 shares at 0/share 2 months before the ex dividend date, and the stock price does not change any. How much dividend [or "yield"] will I be paid by the stock at the payment date?
Further, how often are the dividends paid out – is it only once per year?

While I was happy to get a 25 cent dividend, I then noticed that the NAV of my mutual fund went down by 25 cents. So, in the end, are dividends useless to the investor? Please tell me what the story with this is. Thanks in advance.
