About Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares Dividend

The Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend comes from a fund holding roughly 2,150 stocks across developed Pacific nations, giving investors broad exposure to a region representing about 25% of global equity markets outside the United States. The current yield is 2.66%, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $3.7323 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is December 19, 2025. With a beta of 1.1, VPADX carries slightly above-average market volatility, making it a fit for dividend investors comfortable with international equity swings in exchange for Pacific-region diversification.

Dividend Safety

Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, making a traditional payout ratio not applicable (fund/ETF). Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend safety depends on the income produced by approximately 2,150 Pacific-region stocks, which fluctuates with corporate earnings, currency movements, and country-specific conditions across the region. The fund's heavy allocation to Japan and its exclusive Pacific Rim focus mean that a downturn concentrated in that geography, or a strengthening U.S. dollar, can directly compress the income passed through to shareholders.

Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares (VPADX) Dividend Growth Rate, CAGR, and History

Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.4% per year from 2013 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $1.8870 in 2013 to $4.4681 in 2025, a meaningful absolute gain over the window. The largest annual increase in the window was 62.7% in 2025, reflecting the lumpy, internationally driven nature of this fund's income. The history also contains at least one year-over-year decline exceeding 5%, which is the real trade-off: growth over time has been real, but the path has not been smooth.

Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares Dividend Growth Rate (CAGR)

Period	CAGR	From	To
3-Year	+27.1%	$2.17 (2022)	$4.47 (2025)
5-Year	+20.5%	$1.76 (2020)	$4.47 (2025)

Is Vanguard Pacific Stock Index Fund Admiral Shares a Good Dividend Stock?

VPADX fits dividend investors who want Pacific equity income and can tolerate year-to-year payment swings. The current yield of 2.66% falls in the moderate (2–4%) range and sits above the fund's own 5-year average of 2.17%, which means today's income level is elevated relative to recent norms. That gap is worth noting: it reflects market pricing, not a structural improvement in the fund's income generation. The trade-off is clear. An investor gets broad exposure to roughly 2,150 Pacific-region companies and a yield above its recent average, but accepts currency risk, country concentration in Japan, and a dividend that has declined in prior years.
