Whenever my mutual funds issue a capital gain or dividends, the NAV of the fund always decreases by the same amount as the dividend or capital gains.
What is the advantage to getting a dividend or capital gain?
Why do people have funds that throw off dividends, as it would seem that the taxes would be higher on the dividends, then if they just sold the same percent of shares that the dividend was, and they got a capital gains tax rate versus the dividend.
Where does the money for the dividends come from? Is it from excess cash that the company has, from profits, or something else?
