About LIC MF Dividend Yield Fund

LIC MF Dividend Yield Fund is a dividend yield fund managed by LIC Mutual Fund. Invest mainly in companies that pay high dividends relative to their share price.

The Investment objective of the Scheme is to provide long term capital appreciation and/or dividend distribution by investing predominantly in dividend yielding equity and equity related instruments. However there can be no assurance that the investment objective under the scheme will be realized.
