Vanguard FTSE Europe ETF (VGK) Dividend History
DivTrkr holds 65 recorded VGK dividend payments, running from December 27, 2005 to September 18, 2026 — 22 calendar years. Together those payments total $42.89 per share. VGK has most often paid quarterly.
VGK's payment rate did not increase in the most recent complete year, so its growth streak currently stands at zero.
VGK's payment rate fell in 2015, 2022. The steepest drop was -53.7%.
VGK 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 VGK's usual cadence, so their total is not directly comparable with neighbouring years.
