BGR distribution FAQ
When is BGR's next ex-distribution date?
BGR's next ex-distribution date is Nov 13, 2026 (in 19 days, declared by the fund). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.097 per share, expected on Nov 27, 2026.
How often does BGR pay distributions?
BGR pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.097 per share with an ex-date of Oct 15, 2026.
What is BGR's distribution yield?
BGR's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 6.29%, based on $1.164 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $18.52. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.164 per share, is 6.29%.
How much does BGR pay per share?
BGR pays about $0.097 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.164 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $116.40 a year.
Has BGR grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 20.1% a year (+1.9% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, BGR'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 BGR do I need to earn $100 a month?
At the current forward yield of 6.29%, you would need about 1,031 shares of BGR (roughly $19,093 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.
