LIT Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
LIT's approximate ~0.45% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Solactive Global Lithium Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.75% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; LIT 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 LIT dividend work?
LIT holds the companies in Solactive Global Lithium Index, collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 0.75% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.
LIT tracks the Solactive Global Lithium Index, holding roughly 40 to 50 companies across lithium mining, refining, battery production, and electric vehicles. It charges a 0.75% expense ratio. Unlike miner-only funds such as LITP, LIT deliberately spans the whole supply chain, which adds battery and EV names but also more diversified industrial exposure.
How does LIT's dividend yield compare?
- Approximate yield: ~0.45% (mid-2026).
- What drives it: the payout of the underlying Solactive Global Lithium Index holdings.
- Fee drag: the 0.75% expense ratio is deducted before you receive distributions.
- For more income: dedicated dividend or income ETFs target higher yield, with their own trade-offs.
