The iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF dividend comes from a fund that tracks an index of small-cap U.S. companies screened for value characteristics. IWN currently yields 1.51%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.2534 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, 2026, with the last quarterly payment at $0.8846 per share. At a beta of 1.028, IWN moves roughly in line with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want small-cap value exposure alongside income.
iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF dividend safety depends on the income produced by its portfolio of small-cap value stocks, which can fluctuate with market conditions and the earnings of hundreds of underlying companies. The most significant pressure point is that small-cap value stocks are not known for high or steady income generation, and the fund's dividend has already posted year-over-year declines in multiple years within the available history.
iShares Russell 2000 Value ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.2% per year from 2011 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.3310 to $3.0721 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest annual increase in the window was 42.0% in 2012, but the data also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +1.4% | $2.95 (2022) | $3.07 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +7.8% | $2.11 (2020) | $3.07 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +4.5% | $1.98 (2015) | $3.07 (2025) |
IWN fits dividend investors who want exposure to small-cap U.S. value stocks and are willing to accept income as a secondary benefit rather than the primary draw. The yield is classified as low (below 2%), and at 1.51% it sits above the 5-year average of 1.35%, which means the current entry point offers slightly more income than the recent norm. The 6.2% annual dividend growth rate over 14 years is respectable, but the history includes multiple down years, so income is not smooth. What an investor gets here is broad small-cap value diversification with a modest and variable income stream.
