Yield Tilt Index Fund

Imagine rides at theme parks with the word “tilt” in them, because that’s what the yield tilt index fund does.

Yield tilt index funds copycat the security holdings of a standard stock index (like the S&P 500 or the DJIA), except that they tilt the weight towards stocks with the higher dividend yields.

Basically, they’re mutual funds with high yields that follow the lead of an index of sorts. Living that tilt life is the sweet life of dividends. Rich people in particular favor yield tilt index funds, because they can buy one in a super-shiny tax-sheltered investment account, paying less in taxes and getting more money (since dividend payments to shareholders are taxed double).
