The source counts a growth streak of two consecutive calendar years. Because the fund pays once a year, its trailing-twelve-month figure is the single December 2025 payment.

No 2026 distribution is listed yet. If the pattern holds, the next one would go ex-distribution in the second half of December 2026 and be paid within about a week.
