Dividend
The portion of profits that a corporation pays to its shareholders. Each share of stock earns a fixed dividend amount. Dividends can be paid in cash, through additional stock in the corporation, or both. If you own shares in a mutual fund whose portfolio includes stocks that pay dividends, the dividend payments you receive are based on the number of fund shares you hold.
