Special dividends
Payments well outside ETO's regular rate. These are one-offs — they are excluded from the growth figures above, and they are not assumed to recur, so they do not feed the predicted dates.

Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own ETO before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.
- How often does ETO pay a dividend?
- Eaton Vance Tax-Advantaged Global Dividend Opportunities Fund has historically paid monthly, across 266 payments since June 2004.
- How much does ETO pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.173 per share, with an ex-date of August 14, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $2.076 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does ETO announce its dividend?
- A median of 19 days before the ex-date, across the 168 declarations we hold.
