Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund (PTA) Dividends & Splits

The Cohen & Steers Tax-Advantaged Preferred Securities and Income Fund (PTA) provides investors with a steady stream of income through dividends and has a history of favorable splits. Dividends are a portion of a company's earnings that are distributed to shareholders on a regular basis, typically quarterly. The fund's dividend yield is a measure of how much income investors can expect to receive in relation to the price of the fund's shares. It is calculated by dividing the annual dividend payment by the fund's share price. The payout ratio is another important metric that indicates how much of a company's earnings are being used to pay dividends. A low payout ratio suggests that a company has room to increase its dividend payments in the future.

The ex-date is the date on which a stock begins trading without its dividend. Investors who purchase the stock on or after the ex-date are not entitled to receive the upcoming dividend payment. Splits occur when a company decides to divide its existing shares into multiple shares. The split multiple represents the ratio at which the shares are split. For example, if a company has a 2-for-1 split, shareholders will receive two shares for every one share they currently own. The dividend amount per share is the actual cash payment that investors receive for each share they own. It is determined by dividing the total dividend payment by the number of outstanding shares. The dividend growth rate is a measure of how much a company's dividend payments have increased over time. A higher dividend growth rate suggests that a company is increasing its dividend payments at a faster pace.
