How Stock Mutual Funds Pay Dividends. Stock mutual funds hold a portfolio of many stocks, in some cases hundreds or even thousands of different companies. These companies are distributing dividends throughout the year. However, it is generally impractical for mutual fund companies to distribute dividends to shareholders every time they receive them.
