First Trust SMID Growth Strength ETF is a fund that the source lists as paying quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $0.01 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of June 25, 2026 and a pay date of June 30, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, it paid $0.01 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 0.03% at a share price of $32.46.

The table starts in March 2020. Through 2024, distributions came most quarters, and the December one was the largest of each year. Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $0.32 in 2020, $0.50 in 2022, $0.66 in 2023 and $0.80 in 2024. Only three are listed for 2021, adding up to $0.40. The largest single amount in the table was $0.39, with an ex-date in December 2024.

After that the record breaks off. No distribution with an ex-date in 2025 is listed, and the next entry is the $0.01 distribution in June 2026, far below the earlier amounts. That one payment is the whole trailing-twelve-month figure. With no 2025 distributions and only one so far in 2026, the table does not show a regular pattern from which to place the next distribution.
