About Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund Dividend

The Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund dividend comes from a passively managed fund that puts at least 80% of its assets into the stocks of the Russell 2000 Index, giving investors broad exposure to U.S. small-cap equities. FSSNX currently yields 1.04%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.3880 per share. The next ex-dividend date is June 26, 2026. With a beta of 1.26, FSSNX carries above-average price volatility, which shapes its appeal more toward growth-oriented dividend investors than those seeking steady income.

Dividend Safety

Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund dividend safety is directly tied to the income produced by the Russell 2000 stocks it holds, supplemented by securities lending revenue the fund actively pursues. The primary pressure point is that small-cap equity income is inherently variable, and distributions can shift meaningfully from year to year depending on what the underlying index constituents pay out.

Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund (FSSNX) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund dividend history shows a CAGR of 3.7% per year from 2012 to 2023. Per-share payments grew from $0.2400 to $0.3590 over that window (note: 2024, 2025, and 2026 figures are partial years and excluded from the CAGR). The largest single-year jump in the window was 88.1% in 2014, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, reflecting how directly FSSNX distributions depend on the variable income of its small-cap holdings.

Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+7.1%	$0.27 (2022)	$0.34 (2025)
5-Year	+7.4%	$0.23 (2020)	$0.34 (2025)
10-Year	-6.1%	$0.63 (2015)	$0.34 (2025)

Is Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund a Good Dividend Stock?

FSSNX fits dividend investors who want small-cap equity exposure and are comfortable accepting irregular, variable distributions in exchange for index-level diversification across the Russell 2000. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 1.04%, and sits below the fund's own 5-year average of 1.25%, meaning income buyers are getting less yield than the recent norm. Growth over the 2012-2023 window averaged 3.7% annually, but the path was uneven, with sharp swings in both directions. The trade-off is clear: broad small-cap exposure with a modest, unpredictable income stream.

Is Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund dividend safe?

A traditional payout ratio is not applicable (fund/ETF), so safety cannot be assessed that way. Distributions depend on income from Russell 2000 holdings and securities lending, both of which vary, and the history shows declines have occurred.

How does Fidelity Small Cap Index Fund compare to its own historical yield?

The current yield of 1.04% is below the 5-year average of 1.25%. That gap means income investors holding FSSNX today are receiving a smaller income stream relative to what the fund has delivered on average over the past five years.
