Forward yield Not computed: the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The trailing figure beside it is what has actually been paid.
Trailing 12-month yield 1.95% Cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days ($1.89) divided by the last price. Backward-looking, and not comparable with a bond's yield to maturity or an index yield.
Paid over 12 months $1.89 Trailing 12 months: the regular payments actually made over the last 365 days. No forward estimate is shown because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by.
Pays Irregular No settled cadence: the last three recorded payments were not reported at the same frequency, so nothing here is annualised from a single payment.
Next ex-date First day the shares trade without the next payment attached.
Next pay date When the declared payment reaches holders.
Growth streak 1 yr 1 consecutive complete years in which the highest regular payment was above the year before. Our stored payment history for this security begins in 2007. The run ends inside that history, so it is measured rather than a floor.
Years paying 19 Complete calendar years with a payment in our stored history, which begins in 2007. The issuer may have paid for longer than we hold.
Payout ratio Not meaningful for this structure — GAAP earnings do not describe what it pays out.
Income score 38 0-100 research screen, not a recommendation.

The two yields above are different measurements and are not interchangeable. The forward yield annualises the last regular payment; the trailing 12-month yield counts the cash actually paid over the last 365 days. Neither is an interest rate, a bond's yield to maturity or an index effective yield, and none of those may be compared with these as like for like. See how we compute these numbers.

Our stored payment history for REZ begins in 2007. The run of increases above ends inside that history rather than at its edge, so the figure is measured within what we hold and is not a floor. A streak is counted on the split-adjusted payment, so a share split does not read as a cut.

A yield is just a payment divided by a price, so it moves every day even when the payment does not. The forward number is an estimate of the next twelve months; the trailing number is what was actually paid over the last twelve. Ex-date is the cut-off: own the shares before it and the next payment is yours, buy on or after it and the seller keeps it.

About the annual figure
Payment cadence is irregular, so the annual figure is the trailing 12 months.
Payment cadence is irregular
No regular payment cadence is established for REZ. Our data provider did not report the same frequency for three consecutive payments, so the page treats the cadence as irregular: nothing is annualised from a single payment, and no forward yield is published. The trailing 12-month figures are unaffected — they count cash that was actually paid.

This iShares Residential and Multisector Real Estate ETF is designed to mirror the financial performance of a benchmark index. This index consists of equity investments in U.S.-based companies primarily engaged in the residential, healthcare, and self-storage property sectors.

Company description supplied by the issuer and relayed by our market-data provider, not written by Income Investing. See data sources.

REZ is a exchange-traded fund. What it pays is a distribution, not interest, and that distinction matters. A distribution is whatever the fund passes through for the period — dividends and interest received from the holdings, realised capital gains, option premium where the strategy writes options, and sometimes return of capital. Only the year-end tax form breaks the payment into its parts.

Return of capital is your own money coming back. It is not taxed on receipt, but it reduces your cost basis, so the tax arrives later as a larger capital gain. A fund can therefore publish a steady-looking distribution rate while the net asset value drifts down underneath it. The distribution is set by the fund and can be changed at any time; it is never a coupon.

Figures on this page are computed by Income Investing from the payment history and last price stored in our own database; the payment records come from fmp and the price from fmp, last recomputed Aug 25, 2026. They describe what has been paid, not what will be paid. Yield, payout ratio, our data sources and our methodology are explained elsewhere on the site.

Payment history

Each row is one payment as recorded by our data provider, newest first. The final column compares it with the nearest payment about a year earlier.

The table lists the 24 most recent recorded distributions for REZ, newest first, with ex-dates running from Jun 15, 2020 to Jun 15, 2026. The latest is $0.5065 per share in USD, ex-date Jun 15, 2026, pay date Jun 18, 2026. Measured against the nearest payment about a year earlier, 8 are higher, 16 lower and 0 unchanged; the remaining 0 have no comparable payment in the record. None is flagged as a special or one-off payment. Payment records supplied by fmp.

How to read this table: one row is one payment, newest at the top, and the amount is what a single share received on that one date. It is not an annual figure — the yearly ones are in the tiles above and in the totals further down. A row marked Special is a one-off the issuer chose to make rather than part of the regular schedule, which is why it is left out of the year-on-year comparison and out of those yearly totals. Whether the amount repeats for several rows or moves every time is a fact about the structure rather than a sign of health: a company usually resets its dividend once a year, while a fund's distribution can change with every payment.

The cadence column is the tag our provider attached to that individual payment (fmp), not the security's established schedule. The two can disagree, which is why the cadence shown in the tiles above is only accepted after three consecutive payments were tagged the same way.

A blank comparison means there was no comparable payment within sixty days of the same point a year earlier — a new payer, a changed cadence, or a gap in the record. Special and one-off payments are labelled and are excluded from the comparison.

Distributions by calendar year

Calendar-year totals, bucketed by ex-dividend date: every regular distribution whose ex-dividend date fell in that year, for the last ten complete years on record. These are amounts actually paid, never a forward estimate, and they are not the issuer's own annual distribution figure.

The chart covers 10 complete calendar years for REZ, 2016 to 2025, per share, in USD. Each bar totals the regular distributions with an ex-dividend date in that calendar year. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, which is not necessarily the issuer's own distribution year. Our stored payment history for REZ begins in 2007. The total went from $3.44 in 2016 to $2.27 in 2025 — 34% lower. Within that span 4 years were higher than the year before and 6 lower. The three most recent years shown are 2023 $2.16, 2024 $1.83 and 2025 $2.27. The current year is still in progress and is left out, and special or one-off payments are excluded. This is a record of what was paid, not a projection. The cadence on record for REZ is irregular, so the number of payments a complete calendar year should contain is not fixed and no per-year count check is applied to these bars. Read each total as the payments we hold with an ex-dividend date in that year, nothing more.

Each bar, and each row underneath it, is one calendar year of regular payments added together for a single share. Read left to right and you are reading whether the payment has grown, held or been cut — a record of what was paid, never a forecast of what will be. One thing to watch for: a year here is decided by the date the payment went ex, so when that date slips across a year end one year holds an extra payment and its neighbour is one short while the payment itself never moved. Any year where that has happened is drawn as a dashed bar and marked with an asterisk, and it is the usual reason these totals differ from the annual figure the issuer itself publishes.

Bar height is the total per share of the regular distributions whose ex-dividend date fell in that calendar year, in USD. The year is assigned by ex-dividend date, not by the issuer's own distribution year and not by the date the cash arrived. These are a trailing record — never the forward estimate shown in the tiles above.

What can go wrong
A fund distribution is variable, not a coupon. It reflects whatever the underlying holdings paid over the period, minus the expense ratio, so it moves with the portfolio and can shrink. The share price carries the full market risk of the holdings, distributions can include return of capital that reduces cost basis rather than adding to wealth, and past distribution rates say nothing about future ones.

These are not the best-paying securities of this kind, and no ranking is meant by the order. They are the ones whose trailing 12-month yield sits nearest to this one, in the same structure and usually the same sector, so that this security can be seen in company rather than on its own. Every figure here is backward-looking cash that has already been paid. A row that sits well away from the rest is a question to take to that security's own page, not an answer.

Every row in this table is on the same basis — cash actually paid per share over the last 365 days, divided by that security's last price — so the column can be read down. Forward estimates are deliberately not used here, because they exist for some securities and not others and a mixed column would invite a comparison that does not hold. A dash means no payment was recorded in the last 365 days, or no price is on file. Open a security to see both of its yields.

Questions about REZ

Does REZ pay a distribution, and how often?
Yes. The payment cadence recorded for REZ is irregular: the last three payments in our history were not reported at the same frequency, so no schedule is assumed and no single payment is annualised. The annual figure works out at $1.89 per share. Trailing 12 months: the regular payments actually made over the last 365 days. No forward estimate is shown because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The last ex-date in our history is Jun 15, 2026.
What is the yield on REZ, and is it forward or trailing?
No forward yield is published for REZ, because the payment cadence is irregular, so there is no number of payments a year to multiply by. The trailing 12-month yield is 1.95%: the $1.89 per share actually paid over the last 365 days, divided by the same price. Neither number is a bond's yield to maturity, an index effective yield or an interest rate, and none of those should be compared with these as like for like. Yield also moves inversely with price, so it rises when the market marks the security down — a high number is a question, not an answer.
When is the next REZ ex-dividend date?
No future ex-date has been declared or collected for REZ yet. The last one on record was Jun 15, 2026.
Why is there no meaningful payout ratio for REZ?
A payout ratio compares a dividend to accounting earnings. For a exchange-traded fund the payment is not funded out of GAAP net income — REITs and BDCs pay out of taxable income under distribution rules, funds pass through whatever the portfolio produced, and partnerships distribute cash flow. Analysts use structure-specific measures instead, such as funds from operations for REITs or net investment income for BDCs.
Is the REZ distribution the same as interest?
No. A distribution is whatever the vehicle chooses or is required to pass through in that period. It can contain dividends, interest, realised gains, option premium and return of capital, and only the year-end tax form shows the split. Return of capital is your own money coming back: it is not taxed on receipt, but it lowers your cost basis and therefore raises the gain you are taxed on later.
Has the REZ payment grown?
Over the complete calendar years in our history, the total went from $3.44 in 2016 to $2.27 in 2025. The payment rose in 1 consecutive complete years to the end of that record, measured within the history we hold, which begins in 2007. The chart on this page shows every year in between, including any cuts. Those totals bucket each payment by its ex-dividend date, so a payment whose ex-dividend date shifts across a year end falls into the neighbouring calendar year. Past payment history describes what happened, not what will happen.
