What the record shows
HYG has paid monthly since 2007, but its recent distribution pace is lower. Over the past year, distributions totaled $4.701 per share and provided a 6.12% trailing yield. Recent monthly distributions averaged $0.387 per share, 3% below the preceding level. The latest distribution was also lower than its predecessor, reinforcing the recent downward pattern.
Annual distributions fell through 2021, then rose every year through 2024 before turning lower in 2025. The latest full-year total was $4.606 per share, down 2.5% from the prior year. This sequence reflects variable distributions rather than a sustained pattern of annual increases.
Over 12 months, HYG’s price fell 4.8%, while distributions equaled 5.8% of the price at the start of the period. The distributions more than offset the falling price, resulting in an approximate total return of 1%. Most of that return came through cash distributions rather than price appreciation.

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.
