The Anticipated Dividends report allows you to project dividend income that a fund will earn up until the distribution date or to another date set in the future. Many mutual funds distribute the income earned by the fund. This report assists you with reviewing the projected total income distribution of the mutual fund. Before a distribution occurs, you can use the report to review the income that has been and will be earned by the fund. The report displays both announced dividends and projected dividends. The projected dividends are based on both the historical announcements and on the dividend frequency specified in the SMF.
