Decrease in Estimated Annual Dividend

In the past week the Estimated Annual Dividend for the FiveTwenty portfolio decreased from the preceding week. The decrease was caused by MDU adjusting its quarterly dividend payout down following the spinoff off its KNF subsidiary.

What does this mean for our position in MDU? At this time the FWD dividend yield of MDU stands at 2.38% and a payout ratio of about 66%. Furthermore, the board has set expectations for the future payout ratio to remain between 60% to 70%. These number are close to the targets outlined in our investment strategy, and therefore, we will continue to hold our position in MDU.
