No. AOM pays quarterly. See our list of ETFs that pay monthly dividends if you need monthly income. The most recent ex-dividend date in our data was October 2, 2026, at $0.299 per share.
0.15% a year, or about $15 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
A mix: bond interest is ordinary income, stock dividends may be qualified, and some funds pay return of capital.
A moderate one-fund portfolio for conservative investors. The main risk: bond-heavy, so rising interest rates hurt. This is general information, not personal advice.
