The payment history includes 40 distributions and 16 recorded increases. These counts don’t predict how often the fund will pay or whether future distributions will rise.

A record, not a promise

The history shows that the fund has made distributions over several years, and that some recorded amounts increased. It doesn’t guarantee a payment schedule or future increases. You can review the VLB.TO fund page alongside the distribution history.

Latest recorded distribution

The latest recorded distribution was CA$0.0686 per unit, up from CA$0.0645. Its ex-dividend date was November 2, 2026, which has passed as of November 5, 2026. This is a past distribution, not notice of an upcoming payment. No payment date was provided. You can also review the fund’s details on its VLB.TO page.

How to read the history

A distribution record shows how an ETF has paid income in the past. Consider it alongside the fund’s investment details and your own needs, rather than as a forecast.

The supplied trailing-yield figure is 435.27%, an unusually high number that shouldn’t be treated as a reliable guide to future income. No payout ratio or forward distribution was provided. Check the VLB.TO page and the fund’s published information when deciding whether it suits your circumstances.
