Vanguard Tax-Managed Capital App Adm (VTCLX) Dividend History

DivTrkr holds 67 recorded VTCLX dividend payments, running from December 26, 2003 to September 23, 2026 — 24 calendar years. Together those payments total $43.55 per share. VTCLX has most often paid quarterly.

VTCLX has increased its payment rate for 4 consecutive complete years.

Over the last five complete years the VTCLX payment rate compounded at +4.5% a year. That is what the payments actually did; it is not a forecast.

Across 24 years of recorded history, VTCLX's payment rate has never fallen materially from one complete year to the next.

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