what's the ticker?
Yes, I know how to find a ticker.

My point was that with so many funds, and the various classes of the same fund, why doesn't the OP just provide the specific, unique ticker, and it wasn't clear if that was the exact formal name of the fund, it could have been descriptive? Why ask others to do this, and maybe come up with a couple tickers, and then have to ask which one?
Maybe this should be in the 'pet peeve' thread? If you ask something, provide the info, don't expect others to search for you?

VDIGXThe fund re-opened at the beginning of the month after being closed for three years. Did anyone else establish a position?
OMG, in other threads, people complain when people use tickers rather than fund names. ...
... There are no additional share classes of this fund, so it should have been obvious.
Simple solution, just do both if it isn't a very common one, like SPY, BND, etc (and by 'etc', I don't mean Ethereum Classic USD (ETC-USD) ). And this one being closed, probably isn't common to most of us.
And I also assume OMG is not OmiseGo USD (OMG-USD) .
It would only be obvious after a search!
OK, I'll call it a pet peeve, but c'mon, you are looking for info, so why not make it easy for people, you'll likely get more/better responses that way. I'm just trying to be helpful.
And no, no position and likely never will. I'm not a fan of sectors, I want as much diversification as I can reasonably get.

It is much appreciated.I was not looking for information. I was sharing information. A popular fund that was closed for three years has re-opened, and nobody else mentioned it.
I use Marketwatch and other sites.Am I blind? I can't find the dividend yield on this fund. You'd think it would be prominently displayed in a high dividend fund.

Not really a high dividend at this time.
I'm using SCHD, which is closer to 3%. Kinda middle of the road, I think. Has more companies (100).
When the crash comes we can brag about high yield we hold, right?

They give an SEC yield of 1.84% as of 7/31/19 on the first page of the fund. That spec would be comparable to the S&P500 yield.
And under distributions, you can calculate the trailing yield of the fund yourself:

Thanks. This is an oddly low yield, given the name of the fund. Though, to be fair, it is a dividend growth fund, not dividend yield fund, so time will tell if it's an appropriate name.

This is not, in fact, a high dividend yield fund. This is a dividend growth fund - big difference. It targets companies expected to grow their dividends faster than average.
Vanguard has a high dividend yield fund - different fund. VHYAX with SEC yield on 7/31/19 of 3.37%.
