Dividend Safety

iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF). Because SCZ distributes what its index constituents produce rather than retaining earnings, iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF dividend safety depends directly on the income generated by small-cap companies across developed international markets. The most significant pressure point is that dividends from international small-cap equities can vary sharply year to year, as the history table shows declines in multiple years within the available window.

iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF (SCZ) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.8% per year from 2008 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.7180 to $2.5569 over that span (2026 is a partial year and excluded from this calculation). The largest single-year jump in the window was 51.4% in 2019, though the history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which means growth has been uneven rather than linear.

iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+31.5%	$1.13 (2022)	$2.56 (2025)
5-Year	+19.7%	$1.04 (2020)	$2.56 (2025)
10-Year	+9.5%	$1.03 (2015)	$2.56 (2025)

Is iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF a Good Dividend Stock?

SCZ fits income-focused investors who want exposure to developed international small-cap markets and can accept variable annual payouts. The current yield of 3.05% is moderate (2-4%), and it sits meaningfully above the 5-year average of 2.24%, which means today's yield is elevated relative to recent norms. The 7.8% long-run CAGR is respectable, but the history includes real year-over-year declines, so income is not predictable from one year to the next. What an investor gets is international diversification and a yield above its own historical average. The trade-off is dividend variability tied to the earnings of hundreds of small-cap companies across multiple countries.

Is iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF a good dividend stock for income investors?

SCZ offers a moderate (2-4%) yield of 3.05%, currently above its 5-year average of 2.24%. Income-focused investors should note that annual payouts have varied considerably year to year, so the fund does not deliver the predictable income stream that some income investors prioritize.

Is iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF dividend safe?

The payout ratio is not applicable (fund/ETF), so there is no traditional coverage metric to assess. Dividend safety for SCZ depends on the income produced by its underlying international small-cap holdings, which has historically fluctuated enough to produce multiple year-over-year declines.

How does iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF compare to its own historical yield?

The current SCZ dividend yield of 3.05% is above the fund's 5-year average yield of 2.24%. That gap of roughly 80 basis points means today's yield is higher than what the fund has typically offered over the past five years.

What type of investor is iShares MSCI EAFE Small-Cap ETF best suited for?

SCZ fits income-focused investors who want developed international small-cap exposure and can tolerate variable annual dividend amounts. The 7.8% long-run CAGR is appealing, but the history of year-over-year declines makes it less suited to investors who need predictable income.
