Alternative ways to invest in BHP Group

• Via a fund
• Via a FTSE 100 ETF

Buying shares in just one company is generally considered a riskier bet than investing in a range of investments - AKA a "diversified portfolio". Experts generally recommend holding a mix of investments in specific assets and funds. Funds are ready-made portfolios of multiple companies' shares (potentially including BHP Group), and the idea is that drops in the value of one constituent company's share price might be offset by rises in others.

BHP Group is a major part of the London stock exchange, so it's included in many global funds and investment trusts, as well as tracker-style exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Frequently asked questions

• Does BHP Group pay dividends?

  • Dividend yield
  • Forward yield
  • Payout ratio

  Dividend yield: 5.18% of stock value

  Forward annual dividend yield: 5.18% of stock value

  Dividend payout ratio: 65.59% of net profits

  BHP Group has recently paid out dividends equivalent to 5.18% of its share value annually.

  BHP Group has paid out, on average, around 65.59% of recent net profits as dividends. That has enabled analysts to estimate a "forward annual dividend yield" of 5.18% of the current stock value. This means that over a year, based on recent payouts (which are sadly no guarantee of future payouts), shareholders could enjoy a 5.18% return on their shares, in the form of dividend payments. In BHP Group's case, that would currently equate to about 124 per share.

  BHP Group's payout ratio would broadly be considered high, and as such this stock could appeal to those looking to generate an income. Bear in mind however that companies should normally also look to re-invest a decent amount of net profits to ensure future growth.

  BHP Group's dividend yield is perhaps best considered in relation to those of similar companies.

  • Rio Tinto (RIO.LSE): 6.73% (6.73% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Glencore (GLEN.LSE): 2.96% (2.96% forward annual dividend yield)
  • Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM.US): 4.24% (4.24% forward annual dividend yield)

• When does the fiscal year end for BHP Group?

  BHP Group's fiscal year ends in June.

• Where is BHP Group based?

  BHP Group's address is: 171 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC, Australia, 3000

• Have BHP Group's shares ever split?

  BHP Group's shares were split on a 16.5648:15 basis on 21 July 2002. So if you had owned 15 shares the day before before the split, the next day you'd have owned 16.5648 shares. This wouldn't directly have changed the overall worth of your BHP Group shares – just the quantity. However, indirectly, the new 9.4% lower share price could have impacted the market appetite for BHP Group shares which in turn could have impacted BHP Group's share price.
