AGZ distribution FAQ

When is AGZ's next ex-distribution date?

AGZ's next ex-distribution date is Oct 1, 2026 (in 22 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.3308 per share, expected on Oct 15, 2026.

How often does AGZ pay distributions?

AGZ pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.309 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.

What is AGZ's distribution yield?

AGZ's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 3.67%, based on $3.97 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $108.03. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $3.97 per share, is 3.67%.

How much does AGZ pay per share?

AGZ pays about $0.3308 per share each month, which works out to roughly $3.97 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $397.00 a year.

Has AGZ grown or cut its distribution?

There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, AGZ's distributions vary with the income its holdings generate, so payouts are not designed to rise every year the way a dividend-growth stock's are.

How many shares of AGZ do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 3.67%, you would need about 303 shares of AGZ (roughly $32,654 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive every month, so the monthly figure is an average.
