DIV Dividend History

• By the record: the record runs from April 1, 2013 to October 4, 2026 across 160 payments, the last twelve months contributing $1.16 per share over 11 checks, which is down 10% from $1.29 twelve months prior — close to 6% of the ~$19.00 share price.
• Pays: monthly.
• First paid: April 2013 — one of the longest monthly-payment records on this site.
• What it is: high-yielding U.S. stocks screened for low volatility (Indxx SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index) — the domestic, calmer sibling of SDIV.
• Fee: 0.45% expense ratio (issuer fund page).
• No options involved: the yield comes from what the underlying stocks actually pay — high because the holdings are chosen for high yield, not because upside was sold.

Screening purely for yield has a known failure mode: the highest yielders are often stocks the market has marked down for good reason, and dividend cuts follow. The long chart below shows how that tension has actually played out — including the lean years.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.

• Trailing 12 months: $1.16 per share across 11 payments — down 10% from $1.29 in the 12 months before. What a change like that does to your income →
• Current pace: recent payments annualize to $1.27 — 10% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →

"Next expected" is estimated from DIV's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.

A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.

Long before option-income funds, the way to a double-digit yield was simple: own the highest-paying stocks you can find. The SuperDividend funds systematize it — DIV is one of the few funds anywhere with a monthly record long enough to show what yield-chasing does across entire market cycles, crashes included.

The modern comparison worth making: does a decade-plus of DIV beat the young option-income funds after their erosion? Run it on the compare tool — and see how DIV's payout steadiness scores on the payout statistics board.
