FLOT distribution FAQ

When is FLOT's next ex-distribution date?

FLOT's next ex-distribution date is Oct 1, 2026 (in 23 days, estimated from its monthly schedule). You must own the shares before that date to receive the payment of about $0.1842 per share, expected on Oct 15, 2026.

How often does FLOT pay distributions?

FLOT pays distributions every month, 12 times a year. The most recent payment was $0.181 per share with an ex-date of Sep 1, 2026.

What is FLOT's distribution yield?

FLOT's trailing 12-month distribution yield is 4.34%, based on $2.211 per share paid over the last year and a share price of $50.92. The forward yield, using the indicated annual rate of $2.211 per share, is 4.34%.

How much does FLOT pay per share?

FLOT pays about $0.1842 per share each month, which works out to roughly $2.211 per share a year. 100 shares would collect about $221.10 a year.

Has FLOT grown or cut its distribution?

Over the last 5 years the regular payout has grown at 55.7% a year (-14.4% over the last year). There has been no cut to a regular payment in the last 5 years. As a fund, FLOT'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 FLOT do I need to earn $100 a month?

At the current forward yield of 4.34%, you would need about 543 shares of FLOT (roughly $27,636 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.
