Western Asset Mortgage Opportunity Fund pays monthly distributions. Two are already declared at $0.12 per share: one with an ex-date of October 23, 2026, payable October 30, and the newest, with an ex-date of November 20, 2026 and a pay date of November 30, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $1.46 per share, a yield of about 15.55% at a share price of $9.39.
The table shows one change in the monthly amount. Distributions were $0.13 per share from April to November 2025 and $0.12 from December 2025 on, about 7.7% lower. Since then the amount has held steady for twelve distributions, counting the two declared ones. The table starts in April 2025, so it holds no complete calendar year to compare. The source gives a growth streak of one year, which it bases on calendar-year totals.
Ex-dates fall between the 20th and the 24th of the month, and payment follows at the end of the month or in the first days of the next. If the pattern holds, the distribution after the declared November one would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid at the end of December.
