Global X Russell 2000 Covered Call ETF (RYLD) Dividend History

DivTrkr holds 86 recorded RYLD dividend payments, running from May 22, 2019 to July 20, 2026 — 8 calendar years. Together those payments total $16.47 per share. RYLD has most often paid monthly.

RYLD's payment rate did not increase in the most recent complete year, so its growth streak currently stands at zero.

Over the last five complete years the RYLD payment rate compounded at -5.8% a year. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.

Across 8 years of recorded history, RYLD's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

RYLD 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.

RYLD dividends by year

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 RYLD's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
