CALF Distribution Snapshot
Yield, recent distribution history, cadence, and AIQ context stay together without treating ETF payouts like corporate earnings coverage.
Next CALF Distribution Date
When CALF next goes ex-distribution, the amount where it has been declared, and whether that state is announced, projected or not yet known.
Projected next CALF distribution
Next ex-date status: projected. Next distribution amount status: unknown. Projected values are inferred from recent cadence and are never presented as issuer announcements.
Dividend growth is temporarily withheld because recent rows show an extreme change that needs data review. Raw vendor values stay visible in the history table; TTM, growth, yield, and calculator context use the guarded analysis value.
Latest CALF Distribution Dates
Review the latest distribution, yield, available trailing-year income, and distribution cadence before treating income as durable.
AIQ Distribution bridge
Fund distributions should be read with holdings quality, liquidity, and asset-class exposure.
Distribution yield is more useful when valuation context is not stretched.
Lower drawdown and volatility can improve the dependability of an income allocation.

CALF's split-adjusted annual distributions grew at 19.86% a year from 2020 through 2025, ranking #26 of 138 equity ETFs in AlgovestIQ's research.
Measured from 2019 instead, the same history compounds at 15.42% a year.
Split-adjusted annual distributions, 2020–2025. Research as of Sep 19, 2026.
The payout jumped 337.3% in 2021, a single step rather than steady compounding - often an index or mandate change.
A single payment in an endpoint year was 3.6x the fund's median payment, so one distribution carries much of the result.
CALF Distribution Yield
How CALF's trailing distribution yield is calculated, and how it differs from 30-Day SEC Yield and total return.
Yield methodology
Trailing distribution yield equals distributions paid over the trailing 12 months divided by the latest available market price. It is different from 30-Day SEC Yield, forward distribution yield, and total return.
Distribution variability
CALF distributions reflect income from underlying holdings and may vary by quarter, market environment, fund composition, and fund policy.

ETF distribution yield is only the starting point. Pair the current distribution with frequency, history, holdings exposure, and fund risk before treating income as durable.
Yield is most useful when read with the fund's asset class, distribution policy, and recent payment pattern.
Stable or rising distributions can support an income allocation, while irregular payments should be read as fund-policy and market-cycle evidence.
ETF distributions are not evaluated with company payout ratio or free cash flow coverage because those metrics do not map cleanly to fund structures.

CALF Dividends FAQ
Does CALF pay dividends?
Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. Pacer US Small Cap Cash Cows ETF has covered distribution history on a quarterly cadence.
What is CALF's dividend yield?
CALF's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 0.79%, from $0.45 per share paid over the trailing 12 months. That is distributions paid divided by the latest available market price — it is not a 30-Day SEC Yield, a forward yield, or a total return.
How often does CALF pay dividends?
CALF currently pays distributions on a quarterly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.
When is CALF's next dividend?
CALF's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Dec 3, 2026. A projection is an estimate from past payments, not an issuer announcement, and the fund can change both the date and the amount.
What was CALF's latest dividend?
CALF's latest distribution row shows the ex-dividend date, amount, adjusted distribution, record date, and payment date whenever those fields are covered.
Why do CALF's distributions vary?
CALF distributes the income its underlying holdings generate, so the amount moves with dividend timing across the portfolio, index changes, and seasonality. Variation between periods is normal for a broad-market fund and does not by itself signal a change in fund policy.
