DIV Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
DIV's approximate 6.69% yield (as of July 2026) makes it an income-oriented fund. It tracks INDXX SuperDividend U.S. Low Volatility Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.45% expense ratio. If income is your goal, DIV earns its place as a yield-paying core holding. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds.
