The iShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF dividend reflects a fund built around mega-cap US growth stocks, selected from the 200 largest companies in the Russell Top 200 Index based on medium-term growth forecasts and historical sales per share growth. IWY currently yields 0.34%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $0.9705 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is September 15, 2026, with the last payment of $0.2310 per share. A beta of 1.172 means IWY carries slightly more market sensitivity than the broad index, making it a fit for growth-oriented investors who can accept modest income in exchange for mega-cap equity exposure.
iShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of portfolio income, with a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF). The iShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF dividend safety is tied directly to the income generated by its underlying holdings, which tilt heavily toward technology-sector mega-caps that tend to pay low or no dividends themselves. That sector concentration is the most significant data-supported pressure point: a technology-heavy portfolio produces limited dividend income, which is why the annual per-share payout has fluctuated rather than grown in a straight line.
iShares Russell Top 200 Growth ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 6.7% per year from 2010 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.3792 to $1.0050 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump was 28.4% in 2012, but the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, so growth has not been linear.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | -1.7% | $1.06 (2022) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +1.2% | $0.95 (2020) | $1.00 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +1.7% | $0.85 (2015) | $1.00 (2025) |
IWY fits growth-oriented investors who treat dividends as a secondary benefit rather than a primary income source. The yield is low (below 2%), currently at 0.34%, which is in line with its 5-year average of 0.35%. That consistency tells you the yield is structurally low, not temporarily depressed. The 6.7% annual CAGR over 15 years is respectable, but the history includes meaningful year-over-year declines, so income predictability is limited. What an investor gets is exposure to the largest US growth companies with a small dividend kicker. The trade-off is accepting minimal and variable income in exchange for mega-cap growth equity exposure.
