DRIV Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

DRIV's approximate ~0.15% (30-day SEC yield) yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.68% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; DRIV is built for total return, not yield. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Yield is a recent snapshot, not a promise; verify the current figure with Global X ETFs (Mirae Asset).

How does the DRIV dividend work?

DRIV holds the companies in Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index, collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 0.68% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.

DRIV holds around 75 companies involved in electric and autonomous vehicles and tracks the Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index for a 0.68% fee. The key nuance is its breadth: rather than betting on one automaker, it spans EV makers, battery and materials firms, and the semiconductor and software companies enabling self-driving, which tilts it heavily toward large-cap technology.

How does DRIV's dividend yield compare?

Approximate yield: ~0.15% (30-day SEC yield) (mid-2026).
What drives it: the payout of the underlying Solactive Autonomous & Electric Vehicles Index holdings.
