PFFD pays about $0.10 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.20 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $120.00 a year.

Has PFFD grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has shrunk at 1.8% a year (-1.5% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. 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.

How many shares of PFFD do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 6.56%, you would need about 1,000 shares of PFFD (roughly $18,290 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.
