What the record shows

VGIT has paid monthly since 2009, making 200 distributions. During the last 12 months, distributions totaled $2.287 per share, equal to a 4.02% trailing yield. This establishes a long payment history with a consistent monthly schedule.

Recent distributions have moved modestly higher. The latest three averaged 2.1% more than the prior three, and the latest payment was higher than its predecessor. Higher payments were more common than lower ones over the last five years. After two annual declines, the annual total rose in each of the next three full years, reaching $2.27 in 2025.

The cash distributions did not offset VGIT’s price decline over the last 12 months. The price fell 5.1%, while distributions equaled 3.8% of the price a year earlier, leaving an approximate total return of negative 1.3%. The payout was therefore accompanied by enough price erosion to leave the combined return below zero.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.
