Does SMECF pay dividends?
Yes. SMECF pays on a annual schedule, most recently $3.35 per share with an ex-dividend date of 2025-09-01. To receive a payout you must own the shares before the ex-dividend date; buying on or after it means the previous holder collects that payment.
How the SMECF yield is calculated
The trailing yield divides the last twelve months of dividends per share ($3.35) by the latest market price. The forward yield annualizes the most recent payment across 1 payments per year, which reacts faster after a dividend raise or cut. A rising yield is only good news when it comes from a growing payout rather than a falling share price — check the annual history above and the SMECF DCF fair value page for the cash flow behind it.
