Mega dividends
The two biggest payers on Vanguard’s mid-year schedule of dividends are as follows.
Vanguard Global Minimum Volatility Active ETFÂ (ASX: VMIN) is an actively managed ETF invested in about 200 international shares.
The ETF aims to deliver lower volatility than the FTSE Global All Cap Index (AUD Hedged), before fees.
VMIN ETF will pay a monster dividend of 377.42 cents per unit.
This is a quarterly distribution.
When Vanguard announced its estimated distributions on 26 June, VMIN closed at $64.32 per unit.
So, this mega dividend amounts to an impressive 5.9% dividend yield for the quarter.
VMIN’s unit price has since dropped by the dividend amount, as usual, after going ex-dividend on 1 July.
Vanguard Global Value Equity Active ETFÂ (ASX: VVLU) is also actively managed.
VVLU targets global value stocks drawn mainly from the FTSE Developed All Cap Index and the Russell 3000 Index.
VVLU ETF will pay the largest dollar-amount dividend on Vanguard’s schedule at 619.93 cents per unit.
This is also a quarterly distribution.
On 26 June, VVLU ETF closed at $83.19 per unit.
That means today’s distribution provides an even more impressive dividend yield of 7.5%.
