WEAT Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
WEAT's approximate 0.00% yield (as of July 2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Chicago (CBOT) Wheat Futures and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 1.00% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; WEAT 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 Teucrium.
How does the WEAT dividend work?
WEAT holds the companies in Chicago (CBOT) Wheat Futures, collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 1.00% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.
WEAT holds a spread of Chicago Board of Trade wheat futures contracts, designed to give exposure to wheat prices while spreading contracts across different expirations to soften the impact of any single roll. Even so, like all futures-based commodity funds it is exposed to roll costs: when the futures curve is in contango, rolling into pricier contracts creates a drag, and in backwardation the roll can help. It pays no dividend and carries a 1.00% expense ratio, so it suits short-term views on wheat rather than long-term holding. Holdings are futures contracts and cash collateral, not equities.
How does WEAT's dividend yield compare?
- Approximate yield: 0.00% (July 2026).
- What drives it: the payout of the underlying Chicago (CBOT) Wheat Futures holdings.
- Fee drag: the 1.00% expense ratio is deducted before you receive distributions.
- For more income: dedicated dividend or income ETFs target higher yield, with their own trade-offs.
