Most of the "managed" composites e.g. Brooksons / Nixon / Giant etc pay divi's in the same timescale as the funds received so based on that frequency you get the benefit there and then. Quarterly dividends I guess could be deemed more business like e.g. you are assessing the profitability in the business before paying. Smoke and mirrors....
