ECC Distribution History & Yield

ECC's next ex-distribution date is Nov 10, 2026 (in 16 days, declared by the fund). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.0933 per share, expected on Nov 24, 2026.

ECC pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.06 per share with an ex-date of Oct 13, 2026.

ECC's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 42.59%, based on $1.12 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $2.63. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $1.12 per share, is 42.59%.

ECC pays about $0.0933 per share each month, which works out to roughly $1.12 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $112.00 a year.

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 1.1% a year (-34.9% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, ECC'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.

At the current forward yield of 42.59%, you would need about 1,072 shares of ECC (roughly $2,818 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.
