2013 Vanguard ETF ex-dividend and distribution dates

Friday, January 25th, 2013 | Vance Harwood
 

Apparently Vanguard likes to keep their ETF ex-dividend and distribution dates a secret until just a couple days before the event.  It has that old mutual fund feel to it—”we’ll give you a quote after-market and allow you to buy or sell our stuff at the end of the day, otherwise go away…”

As a result, the dates below are just guesses, based on previous year’s ex-dividend and distribution dates.   For ex-dividend and pay dates see this  Vanguard link for getting the confirmed dates.

This post contains all the dividend information I have on Vanguard ETFs, but I have also created separate posts for each of the subgroups.   Those groups are:

Monthly ex-dividend and pay dates: BND, BSV, VGLT, BIV, VCSH

Quaterly ex-dividend and pay dates: VFH, VNQ, VUG, VOO

Quarterly ex-dividend and pay dates: VIG, VTI, VTV, VV, VYM

Quarterly ex-dividend and pay dates: VWO, VGK, VEU, VSS, VNQI, VEA, VGK, VPL, VXUS, VT

Semi-annual ex-dividend and pay dates:  VO, VOT, VB, VBR, VBK

Annual ex-dividend and pay dates: VAW, VDE, VGT
