What the columns mean

Ex-date

The first day the fund trades without the payment. Buy on or after it and that payment is not yours.

Amount per share

Cash per share as paid on the ex-date, from Tiingo’s end-of-day distributions, with the issuer’s own table where the feed misses a payment.

A payment history is not a forecast or a recommendation. ETFIQ is an independent publisher, not an adviser. Standards and sources
