VGIT Distribution Snapshot

Yield, recent distribution history, cadence, and AIQ context stay together without treating ETF payouts like corporate earnings coverage.

Special distributions paid in the trailing 12 months: $0.1939 per share. These are excluded from the trailing yield and annual figures above, because a one-off payment is not recurring income.

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.

Distribution context
How to read VGIT's distribution profile

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.

Distribution yield

Yield is most useful when read with the fund's asset class, distribution policy, and recent payment pattern.

Payment history matters

Stable or rising distributions can support an income allocation, while irregular payments should be read as fund-policy and market-cycle evidence.

Corporate coverage is excluded

ETF distributions are not evaluated with company payout ratio or free cash flow coverage because those metrics do not map cleanly to fund structures.

Focused follow-on paths for yield, reinvestment, holdings, risk, and the closest income comparison.

VGIT Dividends FAQ

Does VGIT pay dividends?

Yes — though ETF payouts are technically fund distributions rather than corporate dividends. Vanguard Intermediate-Term Treasury ETF has covered distribution history, most recently $0.19 per share on a monthly cadence.

What is VGIT's dividend yield?

VGIT's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 3.68%, from $2.10 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 VGIT pay dividends?

VGIT currently pays distributions on a monthly cadence based on covered payment history. Cadence inferred from payment spacing is labeled as inferred, because a fund can change its schedule.

When is VGIT's next dividend?

VGIT's next distribution is projected from its recent cadence, around Oct 31, 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 VGIT's latest dividend?

VGIT's latest covered distribution was $0.19 per share, with an ex-dividend date of Oct 1, 2026 and a payment date of Oct 5, 2026.

Why do VGIT's distributions vary?

VGIT 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.
