Фиксированный дивиденд по привилегированным акциям устанавливается при их выпуске (NPZ Znanije).

RECOMMENDED TRANSLATION: Calque Фиксированный дивиденд Fiksirovannyj dividend L.t.: a fixed dividend

The term fixed dividend meaning a “dividend given each year for the same amount, regardless of financial performance” (Money Glossary) has the following equivalent in Russian: дивиденд с фиксированной ставкой (IFC) (dividend s fiksirovannoy stavkoj, L.t.: a dividend with a fixed rate). The term combines Calque (фиксированный; fixed), Direct Loan (дивиденд; dividend) and descriptive elements (c(о) ставкой; with a rate)). Nevertheless, the term form cannot be attributed to the mixed group of Direct Loan and Calque because the term component “дивиденд” (dividend) already exists in Russian, although it was previously created using Direct Loan. The construction with a preposition and the components preserved in their concise form matche the patterns of the field of Corporate Governance. The descriptive elements can be retrieved from the meaning of the term (see the definition in table 17). However, the term does not appear in Ruscorpora and is rarely used on the Internet. It proves hat the term is not practical and cannot be recommended for the translation of the English term.

The term form favors the use of a denser form: фиксированный дивиденд (Academic) (fiksirovannyj dividend). The term was translated with the help of Calque and its further assimilation into Russian (фиксированный (fiksirovannyj; fixed) in the form of an adjective. The term is used in modern sources of the field of Management (see the examples in table 17). Nevertheless, it has another variation, which quite often appears on the Internet: фиксированный размер дивиденда (Ruscorpora) (fiksirovannyj razmer dividenda; L.t.: a fixed amount of a dividend). The term is formed with the help of Calque and DT.

The form of Pure Calque is preferable for this term, because both terms are equally used in management contexts and the term фиксированный дивиденд (fiksirovannyj dividend; L.t.: a

fixed dividend) adheres to grammaical patterns of Russian and favours the use of innovative and concise forms.
