Within Energy, where we track 75 names, the median yield is 5.22% — putting JNK above its sector. A yield well above the sector norm is worth a second look: it can signal a depressed share price rather than a generous payout.

What the numbers mean
JNK pays monthly, which suits investors who want dividend income to line up with monthly living expenses rather than arriving in quarterly lumps.
Whether these payments are taxed at the lower qualified rate or as ordinary income depends on how long you hold the shares and what kind of company pays them. See the qualified vs. ordinary dividend rules.
