How much does $10,000 in DBC pay in dividends?

At DBC's current yield of 2.28%, $10,000 pays about $228.15 a year — roughly $228.15 per payment, paid annual, or $19.01 a month averaged out.

What would DBC be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?

Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in DBC would grow to about $12,531 after 10 years, against $12,282 if the income were taken as cash. That deliberately assumes no dividend growth — a real holding may do better or considerably worse.

How often does DBC pay dividends?

DBC pays annual — 1 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.

Is DBC's dividend guaranteed?

No. Dividends are discretionary and can be reduced or suspended at any time, and every figure here is a projection from the current yield rather than a forecast. Check DBC's full payment history before relying on any of it.

Is DBC's distribution the same as a company dividend?

Not quite. DBC is a fund: it collects dividends from the companies it holds and passes them through after costs, so the distribution moves with the portfolio's income rather than with a single company's decision. It also means no payout ratio applies — there are no earnings of its own to pay out of — and that a rebalance into different holdings can change the distribution on its own.

What makes up DBC's 2.28% yield

DBC is an exchange-traded fund, so the 2.28% on this page is income collected from its holdings and passed through, net of the fund's costs. It is not paid out of DBC's own earnings, which is why no payout ratio appears anywhere on this page — the concept does not apply to a fund. The practical consequence for the projections below is that the distribution moves when the underlying portfolio's income moves, and a fund that rebalances into higher- or lower-yielding positions changes its own payment without any single company having cut one.

A yield near the median tells you little on its own, so the number worth pairing it with is the payout ratio: at 0.14, roughly 14% of DBC's earnings are committed to the dividend and the remaining 86% is retained. Two companies on identical yields can sit at opposite ends of that range, and it is the difference between a payment with room to absorb a weak year and one without.

When DBC pays, and what that changes

DBC pays annual, which is unusual among US-listed payers and has two consequences the annual figure hides. The "monthly average" column is an average and nothing more — no cash arrives in most months — and the gap between payments means a holder buying between them waits longer for the first one.

Infrequent payments also compound marginally more slowly when reinvested, since each distribution spends longer as cash before it is put back to work. The reinvestment figures above use DBC's real schedule rather than assuming quarterly payments.

Each payment has an ex-dividend date, and it is the date that governs entitlement: shares bought on or after it do not carry that payment. DBC's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

What stands behind DBC's distribution

There is no coverage ratio to check on a fund. What stands behind DBC's distribution is the aggregate income of everything it holds, so the question that matters is whether those holdings' own payments are durable — a diversified fund will not cut its distribution because one holding did, but it will if many do at once.

The figures hold the dividend flat. No multi-year record of consecutive increases is on file for DBC, so treat the projection as arithmetic on today's payment rather than as an expectation about future ones.
