Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own EWJ 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.

- EWJ has historically paid semi-annually, across 50 payments since August 1997.
- How much does EWJ pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.501 per share, with an ex-date of June 15, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $1.002 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
