What makes up ZROZ's 6.04% yield
ZROZ is an exchange-traded fund, so the 6.04% on this page is income collected from its holdings and passed through, net of the fund's costs. It is not paid out of ZROZ'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.
Yields at this level usually have a structural explanation rather than a mispricing: the fund is organised to distribute income rather than retain it. Worth checking how ZROZ's current yield compares with its own history, since a sharp recent rise more often reflects a falling price than a raised payment.
When ZROZ pays, and what that changes
ZROZ pays quarterly, the standard schedule for US-listed payers, so the "per payment" column is one quarter of the annual figure and the "monthly average" column is a smoothed figure rather than a description of when cash arrives — nothing is paid in eight months of the year.
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. ZROZ's full schedule and payment history are on its dividend page.
What stands behind ZROZ's distribution
There is no coverage ratio to check on a fund. What stands behind ZROZ'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, and that assumption carries more weight for ZROZ than it would for a lower-yielding holding. There is no established record of consecutive annual increases here, and at this yield a modest reduction in the payment changes the ten-year figure substantially.
ZROZ dividend calculator FAQ
- How much does $10,000 in ZROZ pay in dividends?
- At ZROZ's current yield of 6.04%, $10,000 pays about $604.03 a year — roughly $151.01 per payment, paid quarterly, or $50.34 a month averaged out.
- What would ZROZ be worth after 10 years with dividends reinvested?
- Reinvesting every dividend and assuming the payment and share price both stay flat, $10,000 in ZROZ would grow to about $18,212 after 10 years, against $16,040 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 ZROZ pay dividends?
- ZROZ pays quarterly — 4 payments a year — based on its actual payment history rather than an assumed schedule.
- Is ZROZ'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 ZROZ's full payment history before relying on any of it.
- Why is ZROZ's dividend yield so high?
- ZROZ yields 6.04% against a 2.88% median across US dividend payers. A yield is a ratio, so it rises either because the payment went up or because the share price came down — and the figure alone does not say which. As a fund, its distribution reflects the income of its holdings rather than a decision by any one company.
- Is ZROZ's distribution the same as a company dividend?
- Not quite. ZROZ 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.
