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.

On today’s share

The same payment after the splits since, so payments from before and after a split can be added up.
