Has EWC grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 3.9% a year (-12.4% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, EWC'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 0.89%, you would need about 2,182 shares of EWC (roughly $135,360 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive twice a year, so the monthly figure is an average.
