Has SEF grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 3 years the regular payout changed +4.2% a year. There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, SEF'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 3.42%, you would need about 1,200 shares of SEF (roughly $35,064 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every quarter, so the monthly figure is an average.
