Yes. IYLD pays every month. The most recent ex-dividend date in our data was October 2, 2026, at $0.078 per share.
0.50% a year, or about $50 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 simple, diversified monthly income basket, though it is a small fund. The main risk: credit risk from the high-yield and emerging-market sleeves, and low assets mean closure risk. This is general information, not personal advice.
