Special dividends
Payments well outside VMO'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.
| Ex-date | Amount |

| Dec 11, 2003 | $0.382 |
| Dec 11, 2002 | $0.56 |
| Dec 12, 2001 | $0.324 |
Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own VMO 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 VMO pay a dividend?
- Invesco Municipal Opportunity Trust has historically paid monthly, across 410 payments since July 1992.
- How much does VMO pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.063 per share, with an ex-date of August 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $0.756 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
- How far in advance does VMO announce its dividend?
- A median of 11 days before the ex-date, across the 168 declarations we hold.
