TLTW Dividend History

Every figure below was read from iShares on Aug 18, 2026. The full citation sits in the Source and Citation card.
What the Record Shows
Next payment window, expected rather than declared: based on the observed 30-day gap between ex-dates, the next ex-date would ordinarily fall between Aug 25, 2026 and Sep 12, 2026. This is a pattern read from the record, not an announcement; the fund can change timing or amount at will.
Growth: Growth needs two complete calendar years of payouts, or two full years of coverage. Our TLTW record starts 2025-11-04 and holds no complete calendar year yet across 10 payments. On the record we hold, the rolling comparison can first be computed on November 4, 2027 and the calendar-year comparison on January 1, 2028, so this figure fills in around November 2027 as long as TLTW keeps distributing on its current schedule.
Payment range, trailing twelve months: smallest $0.1214 (ex-date May 4, 2026), largest $0.3783 (ex-date Nov 4, 2025), a spread of 212%. Payments this variable make single-month extrapolation unreliable; use the trailing twelve-month total for planning.
Coverage: our TLTW record starts Nov 4, 2025 and holds 10 payments. None of them yet fall inside a complete calendar year, so year-on-year comparisons wait. Metrics needing more history than that are marked rather than estimated.

Frequently Asked Questions
How often does TLTW pay dividends?
TLTW pays monthly, 12 times a year. In our records the typical gap between ex-dividend dates is about 30 days.
What was TLTW's most recent dividend?
$0.1523 per share, with an ex-date of Aug 4, 2026 and payment on Aug 7, 2026, per iShares: TLTW fund page (distributions) (as of 2026-08-18).
When is TLTW's next dividend?
Nothing is declared yet. Based on the observed payment pattern, the next ex-date would ordinarily fall between Aug 25, 2026 and Sep 12, 2026. That is a pattern read from the record, not an announcement.
Is TLTW's dividend growing?
Growth needs two complete calendar years of payouts, or two full years of coverage. Our TLTW record starts 2025-11-04 and holds no complete calendar year yet across 10 payments. On the record we hold, the rolling comparison can first be computed on November 4, 2027 and the calendar-year comparison on January 1, 2028, so this figure fills in around November 2027 as long as TLTW keeps distributing on its current schedule.
Why do TLTW's payments vary so much?
Across trailing twelve months the smallest payment was $0.1214 and the largest $0.3783, a spread of 212%. Funds whose distributions depend on option income or portfolio flows pay what the period produced, so single payments are a poor basis for income planning. Trailing twelve-month totals absorb this variation.
