About 84% of that total came from a single unusually large December 2025 distribution of $3.66.

The earlier record is irregular: one distribution in 2019, none listed for 2020, one in 2021 and two in 2022. December 2021 and December 2022 also brought unusually large amounts, $1.66 and $2.53. Since 2023, the fund has paid four times a year, with regular distributions between $0.13 and $0.21 apart from $0.41 in March 2026. Distributions with ex-dates in 2023 added up to $0.75 and those in 2024 to $0.73. The 2025 total was $4.11, or $0.45 for the three regular distributions without the December one. The source counts a growth streak of one calendar year.

Payment usually comes at the end of the ex-date month. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in mid-December 2026 and be paid at the end of the month.
