If you look at the last 4 periods that QP has divvy payments for BGF, you will notice that the first 2 are around .43 each but that the last 2 are only about .21 each. This makes it look like bgf had a divvy cut which it did not. For some reason, Yahoo adds them together and reports them as around .42 each quarter. For reporting purposes, this is as it should be because the investor gets both incomes..and that is what matters...in my opinion. It appears that the method of reporting changed, perhaps, when QP switched data vendors...but I am guessing at this.
