There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, HYG's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.
How many shares of HYG do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 6.10%, you would need about 256 shares of HYG (roughly $19,668 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
