The S&P is an index. It is made up of 500 of the largest US companies. As an index it does not pay a dividend although ETFs and mutual fund investments designed to track the S&P 500 do often pay a dividend. This is possible because many of the 500 companies in the index pay a dividend. The dividends can be pooled and the passed on to investors of the funds. The most common example is ticker symbol SPY.
