First Trust Short Duration Managed Municipal ETF pays a monthly distribution. Its most recent payment was $0.05 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of September 24, 2026 and a pay date of September 30, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $0.63 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 3.25% at a share price of $19.49.

The monthly amount has been very steady. Every one of the 20 payments in the table, from February 2025 to September 2026, is shown as $0.05 per share. Because the table rounds to the cent, small differences between months do not show. Ex-dates usually fall between the 20th and the 27th of the month, and payment follows at the end of the same month. December is the exception, with an ex-date of December 12, 2025.

The table lists eleven payments in 2025 and nine so far in 2026. The fund shows a growth streak of four years based on calendar-year totals. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late October 2026 and be paid at the end of the month.
