Dividend Safety

Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund pays out dividends at a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF), as the standard earnings-based payout framework does not apply to mutual funds. Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund dividend safety is therefore assessed differently: distributions reflect realized capital gains and income generated from the underlying portfolio of emerging market equities, which fluctuates with market conditions. The most significant pressure on the payout is the fund's exposure to developing economies, where earnings from holdings can swing sharply with currency moves, political shifts, and commodity cycles.

Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund (FEMKX) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.4% per year from 2003 to 2023.

The largest single-year increase in the window was 524.0%, recorded in 2007, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, reflecting the volatility inherent in emerging market distributions.

10-Year	-14.1%	$0.11 (2015)	$0.02 (2025)

Is Fidelity Emerging Markets Fund a Good Dividend Stock?

FEMKX fits dividend investors who want emerging market equity exposure and can accept highly variable income. The current yield of 0.04% is low (below 2%), and it sits far below the fund's own 5-year average yield of 1.16%, which signals that recent distributions have been unusually thin. The 6.4% long-term CAGR looks appealing on paper, but the annual dividend history shows sharp swings, including a peak of $2.6210 per share in 2021 followed by $0.2410 the next year. What an investor gets here is access to a fundamentally driven emerging markets portfolio. What they give up is predictable income.
