CMF distribution FAQ

When is CMF's next ex-distribution date?

CMF's next ex-distribution date is Oct 31, 2026 (in 6 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.1405 per share, expected on Nov 14, 2026.

How often does CMF pay distributions?

CMF pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.141 per share with an ex-date of Oct 1, 2026.

What is CMF's distribution yield?

CMF's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 3.07%, based on $1.686 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $54.91. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.686 per share, is 3.07%.

How much does CMF pay per share?

CMF pays about $0.1405 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.686 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $168.60 a year.

Has CMF grown or cut its distribution?

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

At the current forward yield of 3.07%, you would need about 712 shares of CMF (roughly $39,082 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.
