Vanguard Total Inflation-Protected Securities ETF pays quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $0.99 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of October 1, 2026 and a pay date of October 5, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $2.77 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 3.83% at a share price of $72.31.

The history shown is short. It holds five distributions, with ex-dates from October 1, 2025 to October 1, 2026, so it covers only about one year and is not a long-term record. Within that window the amounts varied widely. The fund paid $0.47 in October 2025 and $0.71 with an ex-date of December 18, 2025. The April 2026 distribution was much smaller, at $0.06, while the July 2026 one was the largest in the table at $1.01, followed by $0.99 in October. Payment has followed the ex-date by two to five days.

The three distributions with ex-dates in 2026 add up to $2.06. With only part of 2025 in the table, there are no complete calendar years to compare, and the source shows no growth streak. If the pattern of the past year holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution in December 2026.
