VanEck Morningstar Global Wide Moat ETF pays its distributions once a year, in December. Its most recent distributions all had an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of December 22, 2025 and a pay date of December 26, 2025: three separate amounts of $0.94, $4.05 and $1.89 per share. Together they make up the trailing-twelve-month total of $6.88 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 17.42% at a share price of $39.50.

The December 2025 total was unusually large compared with earlier years, and the $4.05 distribution on its own was larger than any full year in the table. From 2019 through 2023, the fund made one December distribution a year, ranging from $0.65 in 2023 to $2.21 in 2021. In December 2024 there were two, $0.65 and $1.38, adding up to $2.03.

Annual totals have moved up and down rather than in a steady line. Ex-dates have fallen in the second half of December each year, with payment one to seven days later. If the annual pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in late December 2026 and be paid before the end of the year.
