Adams Diversified Equity Fund owns a broad portfolio of company shares. Its investment returns come mainly from what those businesses earn and how their shares perform; the fund's managed cash payment is not the same thing as dividends received from holdings.

How the business works
Portfolio dividends become net investment income after costs. Realized and unrealized share results are separate and can be more important to NAV and distributions in this equity-led fund.
Extras are shown separately and are not assumed to repeat.

Reported earnings and sources
Reported earnings for the latest four periods. Compare the same earnings measure across periods; different measures are not added together.
Cash distributions are the total paid per share during each reporting period, including any gains or return of capital. Period lengths may differ, so compare the dates before comparing amounts. Short periods are not annualized.
NAV change excludes distributions. Reported NAV total return includes reinvestment and is copied from the fund statement, not estimated by adding cash distributions to the NAV change.
How to read ADX income
Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.
Watch dividend changes in the holdings and NAV over time. A high distribution rate does not guarantee stable capital.
Income and distributions
Income and cash distributions per share for the same dated periods. Shorter periods are kept separate and are not annualized. Dividends received after fund expenses help explain recurring income. Realized gains and return of capital are separate sources of distributions.
Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized$0.0900
$0.00$0.10
In the first half of 2026, ADX recorded $0.09 of net investment income per common share and $0.95 of total distributions. NAV moved from $24.72 to $26.34 over that same reporting span. Income alone is not a full support test for a managed equity payment; read the investment result and NAV with the cash paid.
Portfolio dividends and interest, realized investment results and any option activity contribute to distribution resources after expenses. A declared distribution can include gains or return of capital as well as investment income; its amount is not an earnings figure.
The earnings available to shareholders depend on the cash generated by these activities after operating and financing costs. Portfolio gains, financing proceeds and recurring income should be evaluated separately.
Adams Diversified Equity Fund, Inc. reported $0.0900 per share for 2026-01-01 through 2026-06-30, measured as Fund net investment income per common share; actual reporting period, not annualized.
Actual per-share reporting period, without annualisation. Net investment income, realized gains, unrealized changes and cash distributions are different measures. This comparison is not the Fly High forward Dividend Coverage Ratio.
Losses or weaker cash generation in equity investments can reduce the resources available for future distributions.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
A maintained payment can exceed investment results. Review NAV and reported income together rather than treating distribution yield as total return.
Watch for changes in the underlying exposure and the next reported results before treating the current payment as evidence of continuing earnings support.
Follow the next equity-portfolio result, distribution sources and NAV. Keep this half-year separate from the older full-year chart points.
