- By the record: the record runs from September 1, 2023 to October 4, 2026 across 38 payments, the last twelve months contributing $1.80 per share over 12 checks, set beside $1.86 in the prior year, down 3% — close to 7% of the ~$25.07 share price.
- Pays: monthly.
- First paid: September 2023 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: an index fund tracking U.S. dollar high-yield corporate bonds (ICE BofA US Cash Pay High Yield Constrained Index) at a rock-bottom fee.
- Fee: 0.03% total expense ratio (issuer page).
- The bargain: at 0.03% it undercuts even USHY — the fee war reached junk bonds, and income investors won.
What junk bonds pay, SCYB pays, minus almost nothing — making its chart a nearly frictionless reading of the high-yield market itself.
SCYB pays monthly. Each point below is one dividend since September 2023.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Dividend / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from SCYB'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.
SCYB manufactures nothing: Schwab indexes the high-yield bond market at a rock-bottom fee and forwards the coupons. Own the debt, forward the coupons — the whole design. That makes its chart the honest baseline: whatever an option-income fund pays above this is the price of the extra risk it carries.
Its rival is USHY — iShares' version of the same market — and the compare tool settles the fee war in one chart.

When Is SCYB's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
SCYB pays monthly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from SCYB's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
SCYB's Record So Far
SCYB — the Schwab High Yield Bond ETF — launched in July 2023 and has paid monthly since September 2023. All declared SCYB dividends appear above.
The Fee War Comes for Junk
Schwab launched SCYB in 2023 at a fee that would have been unthinkable for high yield a decade earlier. Its young record — monthly since September 2023, plus a 2-for-1 split in 2024 — is already long enough to show the strategy plainly: credit-cycle income, diversified across the junk-bond market, with almost nothing skimmed.
Rates Move the Payment and the Price Apart
For a bond fund, the payment line tracks interest rates and the share price tracks them inversely — judge the package on total return for your holding period, not either line alone. The compare tool puts SCYB beside anything else we track.
Schwab's entry undercuts the incumbent high-yield funds on fee, which for bond income is the whole ballgame — every basis point not paid in expenses arrives as yield. The record above is young but its design guarantees it will always track the junk-bond market minus almost nothing.
