The fund will invest at least 80% of its assets in the component securities of the underlying index, and it will invest at least 90% of its assets in fixed income securities of the types included in the underlying index that BFA believes will help the fund track the underlying index.

CMBS distribution FAQ

When is CMBS's next ex-distribution date?

CMBS'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 $0.1462 per share, expected on Oct 15, 2026.

How often does CMBS pay distributions?

CMBS pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.148 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.

What is CMBS's distribution yield?

CMBS's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 3.64%, based on $1.755 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $48.18. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.755 per share, is 3.64%.

How much does CMBS pay per share?

CMBS pays about $0.1462 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.755 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $175.50 a year.

Has CMBS grown or cut its distribution?

There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, CMBS'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 CMBS do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 3.64%, you would need about 684 shares of CMBS (roughly $32,944 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.
