Vanguard International Dividend Appreciation ETF (NASDAQ: VIGI) announced a quarterly dividend that will be paid on Tuesday, December 23. Investors of record on Friday, December 19 will receive $0.532 per share for this distribution. The ETF currently shows an annualized yield near 2.3%, making the payment a noteworthy event for income-focused investors.

VIGI is designed to track international companies with a history of growing dividends. As a dividend-oriented international ETF, VIGI offers exposure to dividend growth outside the United States while aiming to deliver a steady income stream. This quarterly distribution reflects VIGI’s ongoing strategy of delivering income through holdings in durable, dividend-growing companies listed on foreign exchanges.

To qualify for the dividend, shareholders must be on the fund’s record as of the record date, December 19. Keep in mind the ex-dividend date typically falls one business day before the record date; buyers of VIGI should purchase shares before the ex-dividend date to ensure they receive the upcoming payment. If you buy on or after the ex-dividend date, the dividend will go to the seller of the shares.

At $0.532 per share for the quarter, the implied annualized distribution is roughly $2.13 per share (0.532 x 4). With the ETF’s yield around 2.3%, the payout remains competitive among international dividend strategies, though yields can fluctuate with share price and periodic distributions. Investors should review VIGI’s prospectus, recent holdings, and performance metrics to understand how the dividend fits into broader portfolio objectives.

Before making any investment decision, confirm the ex-dividend and payment dates with your brokerage to avoid missing eligibility. Dividend payments are important for total return but should be evaluated alongside fees, currency exposure, and diversification when considering an international dividend ETF like VIGI.

This announcement is informational and not investment advice. Consult a financial advisor if you need guidance on how VIGI or other dividend ETFs fit into your income or growth strategy.
