I don't like the fluctuating distributions of these funds. If you are trying to live off your dividends, how can you budget when you make 20 cents/share in one quarter, 10 cents/share the next, and 15 and 25 in the last quarters? And to add more fun the over next year the pattern is changed to 10,15,5 and 20 cents.. What really works for me is putting most of my money in dividend stocks with a growing dividend and some funds in Certficate of Deposit Ladders..
