Purpose
Dividend Guide is an independent educational resource about dividend stocks, ETFs, distributions, yield, and long-term income planning. The goal is to explain data clearly, not to provide personalized investment advice.
Authorship and Review
Articles are written by Henry Zhou, Independent Dividend Researcher. Facts, data sources, and calculations are personally verified by the author before publication and after material updates.
Research Process
- Define the topic, date range, and intended calculation.
- Use primary sources where available, including company filings, fund issuer documents, SEC records, and official index reports.
- Record source URLs, access dates, data cutoff dates, and statistical assumptions.
- Separate reported figures from derived calculations and clearly label estimates.
- Review the article for factual consistency, source accuracy, and financial disclaimers.
Data and Methodology
Every data-driven article should state the relevant date range, price date, distribution period, yield definition, split-adjustment treatment, and whether special distributions are included. When a figure is calculated, the formula and inputs should be explained near the figure.
Corrections and Updates
If you find an error, email [email protected] with the page URL and supporting source. Material corrections are reflected in the article's updated date and, where useful, in an editorial note.
