Is VTI's dividend sustainable?
Steady incomeVTI's payout has been consistent: the quarterly distribution has varied only 10% between its smallest and largest payment over the past twelve months. The annual distribution has grown about 6.3% a year over the past five years. Its NAV is up 248.3% over ten years, which suggests the income has not been eroding principal. This is an analysis of the fund's payment record, not a recommendation or a forecast of future distributions.
NAV trend (does the payout erode capital?)
10-year rangeUnlike some high-yield funds, VTI's NAV has held up since inception. The distribution has largely not come at the expense of principal. This is the key number to watch for any income ETF.
