FJP distribution FAQ
When is FJP's next ex-distribution date?
FJP has not announced its next ex-distribution date and its payments do not follow a regular schedule, so we do not estimate one. The most recent ex-date was Jun 25, 2026.
How often does FJP pay distributions?
FJP's distribution schedule is irregular: it has made 36 payments on our records, most recently $0.485 per share on Jun 25, 2026.

FJP pays about $0.485 per share per payment, which works out to roughly $0.599 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $59.90 a year.
Has FJP grown or cut its distribution?
Over the last 5 years the regular payout has shrunk at 3.0% a year (-58.3% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, FJP'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 0.77%, you would need about 2,004 shares of FJP (roughly $156,841 invested at today's price) to collect $1,200 a year, or $100 a month on average, before taxes. Payments arrive on the fund’s schedule, so the monthly figure is an average.
