Vanguard Div Appreciation ETF (VIG) Dividend History

DivTrkr holds 82 recorded VIG dividend payments, running from June 26, 2006 to September 28, 2026 — 21 calendar years. Together those payments total $40.58 per share. VIG has most often paid quarterly.

VIG has increased its payment rate for 6 consecutive complete years.

Over the last five complete years the VIG payment rate compounded at +8.7% a year, and +6.9% a year over the last ten. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.

Across 21 years of recorded history, VIG's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

VIG 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.

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