What the record shows

VTI’s annual distributions rose in each of the last five full years, extending a quarterly payment history that began in 2001. The ETF has made 102 distributions. Its quarterly amounts have varied, with more payments higher than their predecessors than lower over the latest five years.

Over the latest year, VTI paid four distributions totaling $3.949 per share, for a trailing yield of 1.06%. The latest distribution was 8.4% lower than the previous one, but the recent average was 2.6% higher than the preceding average.

Annual distributions were lower in 2020, then higher in every subsequent full year through 2025. During the same period, VTI’s price rose 10.8%, while distributions equaled 1.2% of the price a year earlier, producing an approximate total return of 12%. The positive price change means the distributions accompanied capital appreciation rather than offsetting a falling price.

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.
