Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $1.41 per share, a yield of 1.92% at a share price of $73.32.
The history shown is short. It holds six payments, with ex-dates from May 1 to October 1, 2026, so the trailing figure covers about six months rather than a full year. Ex-dates fall on the first business day of the month, and payment follows two to five days later.
The first payment in the table, in May 2026, was $0.11 per share. The five since then have been steady, between $0.25 and $0.27, with the highest in August. All six payments add up to $1.41, the same as the trailing figure. There are no complete calendar years to compare and no growth streak. If the monthly pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in early November 2026 and be paid a few days later.
