Marsh & McLennan Cos. on Wednesday said its board raised the quarterly dividend by 10% to 59 cents a share.

The new payout, equal to $2.36 a year, represents an annual yield of about 1.54% based on Tuesday's closing price of $153.14, up from 1.4%.

The New York professional-services firm said the increased dividend is payable Aug. 15 to shareholders of record July 28.

S&P Dow Jones Indices recently reported that dividend payouts set another record in the second quarter, a reassuring sign to investors who have flocked to steady, income-generating stocks during the market downturn this year.
