If you plug the symbol for the fund into Google, it will probably bring up a chart. In the corner of the chart you'll see "Yield (ttm)" That's what the fund has paid out in dividends over the past year as a percentage of the current price. I wouldn't worry about dividends, though. Worry about diversification, then worry about earnings per share. Earnings are earnings whether they're retained and reinvested or given as dividends.
