SCHO distribution FAQ

When is SCHO's next ex-distribution date?

SCHO'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 $0.0762 per share, expected on Oct 15, 2026.

How often does SCHO pay distributions?

SCHO pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.062 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.

How much does SCHO pay per share?

SCHO pays about $0.0762 per share each month, which works out to roughly $0.914 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $91.40 a year.

Has SCHO grown or cut its distribution?

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

At the current forward yield of 3.81%, you would need about 1,313 shares of SCHO (roughly $31,523 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.
