T. Rowe Price Group's board has raised the quarterly dividend by 2.4%, to $1.27 from $1.24, marking the 39th straight year that the asset manager has boosted its payout.
The new dividend, equal to $5.08 a year, represents an annual yield of about 4.63% based on Monday's closing price of $109.62, up from 4.52%.
The increase maintains T. Rowe Price's spot in the S&P 500 Dividend Aristocrats Index, whose 69 members have paid a higher dividend for at least 25 straight years.
The Baltimore company on Tuesday said the increased dividend is payable March 28 to shareholders of record March 14.
