FT Vest S&P 500 Dividend Aristo (KNG) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 60 recorded KNG dividend payments, running from June 27, 2018 to October 21, 2026 — 9 calendar years. Together those payments total $24.34 per share. KNG has most often paid quarterly.
KNG's payment rate did not increase in the most recent complete year, so its growth streak currently stands at zero.
Across 9 years of recorded history, KNG's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.
KNG is a fund, so its distribution is set from what the strategy earned in the period rather than by a board committing to a rate — payments move around by design. Only declines steeper than 25% are treated as material here, because smaller swings are routine rather than a change of policy.

How this growth is measured
Year-over-year growth here compares each year's median payment with the year before, not the calendar-year total. Ex-dividend dates drift, so a quarterly payer can book five ex-dates in one calendar year and four in the next. Comparing raw yearly totals would show a phantom cut of around 25% in a year where the company did nothing but pay slightly earlier. Using the median payment removes that distortion, and also ignores one-off special dividends.
Years marked “timing” booked a different number of payments than KNG's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
