FJP distribution FAQ

Has FJP grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 5 years the regular payout has shrunk at 3.0% a year (-58.3% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years.

At the current forward yield of 0.77%, you would need about 2,004 shares of FJP (roughly $156,841 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive on the fund’s schedule, so the monthly figure is an average.
