Special dividends
Payments well outside IEF'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.

| Dec 16, 2003 | $0.84 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own IEF 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 IEF pay a dividend?
- IEF has historically paid monthly, across 290 payments since September 2002.
- How much does IEF pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.332 per share, with an ex-date of September 1, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $3.984 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
