    Yes there are. Just Google "dividend fund" and you will find several of them.

    Indeed! Unfortunately a dividend is something which far too many investors place too much weight on. They see a relatively high dividend, and then tend to ignore everything else, such as an extremely over-inflated balance sheet, the lack of cash and thus the need to take on more debt in order to actually be able to pay the dividend resulting of course in a reduction in share value, and not to mention the potential of dividend suspension at any time. In fact these days a dividend should only be looked at as an extra bonus to help in the decision making process to buy, and as you say, in no way used as the sole basis for purchasing a particular stock.
