Are PGX dividends qualified?

As a result, PGX is particularly exposed to financial sector disruptions, and investors skeptical of the financial industry may wish to avoid PGX.

While some investors may be concerned about PGX’s financial sector concentration, the fund’s lack of diversity does have one big advantage: qualifying dividends. Non-qualified dividends are taxed as ordinary income, but qualified dividends are taxed as capital gains. Nearly 80% of PGX’s dividends are qualified, owing to the fact that financial institutions issue more preferred stock with qualified dividends than issuers in other industries. In other words, PGX investors keep more of their money than investors in a fund like PSK (which has about half of its holdings in preferred stocks paying qualified dividends).

The average expenditure ratio for an ETF is 0.44 percent, according to the Wall Street Journal. PGX has the highest expense ratio of the three funds I analyze in this post, at 0.52 percent. PFF (0.46%) and PSK (0.45%) are both closer to the average than the others. This means that PFF will charge $4.60 for every $1,000 invested in the fund, PSK will charge $4.50, and PGX will charge $5.20. While $0.60 or $0.70 per $1,000 may not seem like much, it adds up over time, and some investors may find that PGX’s higher expense ratio overshadows the fund’s higher yield and lower tax statistics.

Is it smart to reinvest dividends?

Reinvesting dividends rather than collecting cash will help you more in the long run if a firm continues to develop and your portfolio is well-balanced. When a company is faltering or your portfolio becomes unbalanced, though, removing the money and investing it elsewhere may be a better option.

How long do you have to hold a stock to get the dividend?
