The Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF dividend comes from a fund that targets small-cap companies in developed markets outside the United States, focusing on low valuations and strong profitability metrics. AVDV currently yields 3.11%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.4671 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 8, 2026. A beta of 0.94 places the fund close to broad market volatility, making it a fit for dividend investors who want international small-cap exposure without extreme price swings.
Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF pays out dividends as a fund, so a traditional payout ratio is not applicable (fund/ETF). Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF dividend safety rests on the fund's underlying holdings: small-cap international companies screened for low valuations and superior profitability, which supports the income stream at the portfolio level. The primary pressure point is that distributions depend on the dividend-paying behavior of hundreds of foreign small-cap companies, meaning currency movements and shifting profitability across developed markets can cause payment amounts to vary year to year.
Avantis International Small Cap Value ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 24.6% per year from 2020 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.9540 in 2020 to $2.8675 in 2025 (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 2.3% in 2025, a sharp deceleration from the 61.8% jump recorded in 2021, showing that growth has been uneven rather than linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +17.8% | $1.75 (2022) | $2.87 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +24.6% | $0.95 (2020) | $2.87 (2025) |
AVDV fits dividend investors who want a moderate yield paired with meaningful long-term distribution growth from international small-cap equities. The current yield of 3.11% sits in the moderate (2–4%) range and is notably above the fund's 5-year average yield of 1.98%, which means today's income level is historically elevated for this fund. Five consecutive years of dividend increases back that up, though the 2.3% increase in 2025 signals that the rapid growth phase has slowed. The trade-off is clear: investors get broad developed-market diversification and a yield above the fund's own historical norm, but distribution amounts can fluctuate with the profitability of hundreds of foreign small-cap companies.
