After buying a fund, there are two ways to make money, one is to buy low and sell high to earn the difference, and the other is to participate in dividends. When the fund pays dividends, investors can choose their own dividend methods. If they choose cash dividends, they can get a sum of cash directly, but dividends are conditional.

Can I get a dividend less than a year after buying a fund?

If you buy a fund for less than one year, you may get dividends, because the key to whether the fund pays dividends is whether it meets the conditions for dividends, and whether the fund company decides to pay dividends has nothing to do with the time when investors hold the fund. Some people participate in dividends within a few months after buying a fund, and some people may not participate in dividends for several years after buying a fund.

Conditions for fund dividends:

1 the fund can only be distributed after the current year's income makes up for the previous year's loss;

After the distribution of fund income, the unit net value cannot be lower than the face value;

(3) If the fund investment has a net loss in the current period, it cannot be distributed.

After meeting the dividend conditions, you don't have to pay dividends, because it depends on whether there are dividend regulations in the fund prospectus, and there is no hard and fast regulation depending on the fund management and operation. At that time, the dividend distribution time depends on the company announcement.

Fund dividends seem to be a sum of money, but this money is actually a part of the total assets held by the fund. When the fund pays dividends, part of the fund's income is distributed to investors in cash. This part of the income is originally a part of the fund's net value. After the dividend, the net value of the fund fell, so the dividend is relatively less fragrant. Don't pursue blindly.
