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

At EIS's current yield of 1.52%, $10,000 pays about $151.53 a year — roughly $75.76 per payment, paid semi-annual, or $12.63 a month averaged out.

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

Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in EIS would grow to about $11,629 after 10 years, against $11,515 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 EIS pay dividends?

EIS pays semi-annual — 2 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.

Is EIS'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 EIS's full payment history before relying on any of it.

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

Not quite. EIS 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 EIS's 1.52% yield

EIS is an exchange-traded fund, so the 1.52% on this page is income collected from its holdings and passed through, net of the fund's costs. It is not paid out of EIS'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 below-median yield is not the same as a weak dividend. It commonly means earnings are being retained and reinvested, or that the share price has risen faster than the payment — in the second case the holder's income did not fall, the yield did. Income is one component of the return on EIS and the smaller one; the figures below are not a total-return estimate.

When EIS pays, and what that changes

EIS pays semi-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 EIS'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. EIS's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.

What stands behind EIS's distribution

There is no coverage ratio to check on a fund. What stands behind EIS'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 EIS, so treat the projection as arithmetic on today's payment rather than as an expectation about future ones.
