Vanguard FTSE Emerging Markets ETF is a fund that pays quarterly distributions. Its most recent distribution was $0.11 per share, with an ex-date of September 18, 2026 and a pay date of September 22, 2026. The source gives a trailing twelve-month total of $1.22 per share, a yield of 2.01% at a share price of $60.70.

The amount varies widely through the year. The December distribution was by far the largest in each year from 2022 to 2025: $0.63, $0.86, $1.07 and $1.03. March payments in those years were between $0.03 and $0.13. Distributions with ex-dates in each calendar year added up to $1.60 in 2022, $1.45 in 2023, $1.41 in 2024 and $1.50 in 2025. The source counts a growth streak of one year.

The 2026 record is irregular. No March 2026 distribution is listed, and the two payments this year, $0.07 in June and $0.11 in September, were below those for the same quarters of 2025, which were $0.14 and $0.28. Ex-dates fall in mid to late March, June, September and December, with payment three to five days later. If the pattern holds, the next distribution would go ex-distribution around December 20, 2026.
