PLUS Korea Defense Industry Index ETF has a very short distribution record. The source lists the fund's frequency as monthly, but the history shown holds only two payments, and both share the same dates. Each had an ex-date of December 30, 2025 and a pay date of December 31, 2025. One was $2.22 per share and the other was $0.74 per share.
Together they make up the trailing-twelve-month total of $2.96 per share, a yield of 6.87% at a share price of $43.13. Nearly all of that yield comes from those two December payments. No distributions with ex-dates in 2026 are listed, even though the frequency shown is monthly.
With only one set of dates in the table, there is no rhythm to describe and no full calendar years to compare. The source shows no growth streak. It is not possible to tell from this data how large future distributions might be, or whether they will follow the monthly frequency the source gives, a year-end pattern like the December 2025 payments, or some other schedule. The record would need more payments before any pattern could be described.
