Japan Smaller Capitalization Fund pays a monthly distribution of $0.10 per share. Its most recent paid distribution had an ex-date of September 15, 2026 and was paid on September 30, 2026. Three more payments of $0.10 are already declared, with ex-dates of October 15, November 16 and December 15, 2026, each paid at the end of its month. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $1.09 per share, a yield of 8.58% at a share price of $12.64.

The monthly rhythm is new in the table. Before it, the record shows single December payments of $0.05 in 2022 and $0.31 in 2024, and none in 2023. Monthly payments began with the July 2025 ex-date at $0.09 per share and held there for twelve months. The amount moved to $0.10 with the July 2026 payment, a step of one cent, or about 11%. Ex-dates fall around the 15th, and payment follows at the end of the same month. The source gives no growth streak.

If the monthly pattern holds, the payment after the declared December one would go ex-dividend in mid-January 2027 and be paid at the end of January. The one change so far came in July.
