Has PFFD grown or cut its distribution?

As a fund, PFFD'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.

At the current forward yield of 6.99%, you would need about 1,000 shares of PFFD (roughly $17,160 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.
