It varies by fund, some are positive some are negative. It depends entirely upon the fund. When the NASDAQ collapsed, some funds lost over 90% on average, some funds do really well, on average. Bonds right now return around 5%, on average. Yahoo Finance tells you the dividend yield and the last payment date and amount for each stock. However, companies are not required to pay a dividend.
Go to Edward Jones, I am not affiliated with them, but I used to be an investment advisor. You need professional help because these questions are so basic that if you have to ask them, you should not be managing your own money.
