Dividend Timetable Released: What VanEck Investors Need to Know About Upcoming Payments

VanEck Announces Dividend Timetable

VanEck Investments Limited has released an indicative timetable for dividend payments across multiple VanEck exchange traded funds (ETFs). This announcement provides investors with key dates to mark on their calendars, including the ex-dividend date, record date, and payment date, which are critical for those seeking to capture dividend income from these funds.

The announcement of the actual final dividends is scheduled for Friday, 30 May 2025. Following this, the ex-dividend date is set for Wednesday, 18 June 2025, meaning investors must hold units before this date to be eligible for the dividend. The record date, when the fund registers unit holders entitled to the dividend, will be Monday, 23 June 2025. The indicative payment date is set for Tuesday, 3 June 2025, although investors should note this date is subject to change.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan Details

VanEck also confirmed that a dividend reinvestment plan (DRP) will be in operation for these ETFs. The DRP price per fund unit will be announced around Monday, 2 June 2025, and will be based on the net asset value per unit calculated after the close of trading on Friday, 30 May 2025, less the actual dividend amount. This allows investors to reinvest their dividends back into the fund, potentially compounding their investment over time.

Investors are reminded to ensure their bank account details are up to date with the Registrar before the record date to avoid any delays in dividend payments. Additionally, VanEck encourages investors to register for electronic communications via MUFG Investor Services to receive timely updates and reduce paper-based correspondence, aligning with broader environmental goals.

Withholding Tax and Further Information

Details regarding the withholding tax components of the dividends will be announced separately on or around Tuesday, 10 June 2025. This information is important for investors to understand the net income they will receive after tax deductions. VanEck’s announcement underscores the importance of monitoring these updates closely to manage expectations around dividend income and tax obligations.

Overall, this timetable provides a clear framework for investors in VanEck’s diverse range of ETFs, including government bonds, corporate bonds, floating rate notes, and global credit securities. With the dividend and DRP details now outlined, investors can better plan their portfolio strategies and cash flow management for the coming months.
