FYI: There are numerous variations on the theme of dividend investing. Sometimes, though, it’s important to get back to basics.
With that in mind, Barron’s asked Morningstar to compile a list of dividend-focused mutual funds. The accompanying table, culled from that list of about 250 funds, shows the top-five-performing portfolios based on five-year returns as of Feb. 28.
Past is not prologue, of course, and outperformance can fade, sometimes quickly. Still, it can be instructive to analyze funds that have outperformed their peers. In this case, we looked at five-year track records, as many of the funds in the longer list Morningstar provided do not have 10-year track records.
