Vanguard U.S. High-Yield Corporate Bond Index ETF pays a monthly distribution. Its most recent payment was $0.41 per share, with an ex-date of October 1, 2026 and a pay date of October 5, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $1.52 per share, a yield of 2.09% at a share price of $72.81.
The history shown is short. It holds only four monthly payments, with ex-dates from July 1 to October 1, 2026, so the trailing-twelve-month figure covers just those four and not a full year of distributions. Ex-dates fall at or near the start of each month, and payment follows two to five days later.
The amounts so far have been close together. The four payments ranged from $0.36 to $0.41 and averaged $0.38. The October payment is the largest in the table so far, and the September payment the smallest. No calendar year in the table is complete, and the source shows no growth streak. Four payments are too few to show a longer pattern in the amounts. If the monthly pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in early November 2026 and be paid a few days later.
