No. DVY 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 September 15, 2026, at $1.329 per share.
0.38% a year, or about $38 per $10,000 invested. The cost is taken from the fund's assets, so you never see it as a separate charge.
Mostly qualified dividends, taxed at long-term capital-gains rates in a taxable U.S. account if you meet the holding period.
An income-tilted value fund for investors who want more utilities and financials than SCHD holds. The main risk: the fee is high compared with similar funds, and sector concentration is significant. This is general information, not personal advice.
