iShares Short-Term National Muni Bond ETF (SUB) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 210 recorded SUB dividend payments, running from December 1, 2008 to August 3, 2026 — 19 calendar years. Together those payments total $23.98 per share. SUB has most often paid monthly.
SUB has increased its payment rate for 4 consecutive complete years.
Over the last five complete years the SUB payment rate compounded at +14.0% a year, and +12.4% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.
SUB's payment rate fell in 2021. The steepest drop was -42.9%.
SUB 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 SUB's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
