PIO Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

PIO's approximate ~0.9% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks NASDAQ OMX Global Water 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; PIO 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 Invesco.

How does the PIO dividend work?

PIO holds the companies in NASDAQ OMX Global Water 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.

PIO tracks the NASDAQ OMX Global Water Index, holding water utilities, infrastructure, and equipment companies from around the world. It charges 0.75% and yields under 1%, making it a growth-oriented theme fund. The key nuance versus Invesco's PHO is geography: PIO adds international names like Veolia and Geberit, while PHO stays US-only at a lower fee.
