What the record shows

FDVV has paid quarterly since 2016, building a record of 41 distributions. Over the last 12 months, distributions totaled $1.714 per share and produced a trailing yield of 2.77%. The amount has varied from payment to payment.

The latest distribution was 30.3% lower than the previous payment, but the recent average was 5.8% higher than the prior average. Annual distributions rose for three straight years, then fell once and rose again, reaching $1.636 per share. The latest annual total was also the highest among these recent years.

Over the same 12-month span, FDVV’s price rose 10.1%. Distributions equaled 3% of the price a year earlier, bringing the approximate total return to 13.1%. The positive price change means the distributions accompanied price appreciation rather than returning capital through a falling price.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
