What the record shows
PFF has paid monthly since 2007. Over the last 12 months, its distributions totaled $1.643 per share and produced a 5.52% trailing yield. Recent distributions moved higher, with the recent average 2.6% above the prior average. The fund’s distributions vary with the income it earns.
Annual distributions fell in 2021, rose in each of the next two years, then fell in each of the following two years through 2025. The annual total peaked at $2.068 during that sequence. This pattern shows that PFF’s yearly income has moved in both directions rather than rising steadily.
Over 12 months, PFF’s price fell 6.6%, while distributions equaled 5.2% of the price a year earlier. The distributions offset part, but not all, of the price decline, leaving an approximate total return of -1.4%. The payout therefore returned income while the falling price reduced the overall result.

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.
