A bit of context/balance to the comments of @bendigo for comparison on BEN vs SUN over the past 5 years in the table below BEN has paid a better overall DPS & EPS over the journey.

I've held in the company for a number of years, and I'll happily take the dividend yield they're paying year on year. At the end of the day BEN has a low (relative to most Aust. banks) risk profile given it's almost exclusive domestic exposure, and the trade off is modest share price growth.

Don't get me wrong I would love to see the SP a few bucks higher because the current SP doesn't reflect a reasonable value. But as long as your expectations line up with this then it's hard to sound off on performance.
