The Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend comes from a passively managed index fund targeting small-capitalization U.S. value stocks, companies whose market prices trade below their perceived intrinsic worth. VSIAX currently pays a 1.74% yield, with a trailing annual dividend rate of $1.8476 per share paid quarterly. The next ex-dividend date is June 26, 2026, and the last dividend paid was $0.4634 per share. With a beta of 0.972, the fund tracks closely with the broader market, making it a fit for dividend investors who want small-cap value exposure alongside income.
Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund Admiral Shares pays out dividends as a pass-through of income generated by its underlying holdings, a payout ratio classified as not applicable (fund/ETF). Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend safety is tied directly to the income produced by the small-cap value stocks the fund holds, not to a corporate earnings stream or balance sheet. The primary risk factor is the fund's concentration in small-cap equities, a segment known for volatility, which means dividend income can fluctuate year to year as underlying holdings' distributions rise or fall.
Vanguard Small-Cap Value Index Fund Admiral Shares dividend history shows a CAGR of 7.6% per year from 2016 to 2025. Per-share payments grew from $0.9190 to $1.7778 over that window (2026 is a partial year and excluded from the growth calculation). The smallest annual increase in the window was 3.0% in 2024, while the largest single-year jump reached 17.9% in 2023, showing that growth is real but uneven across years.
| Period | CAGR | From | To |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3-Year | +8.6% | $1.39 (2022) | $1.78 (2025) |
| 5-Year | +11.6% | $1.03 (2020) | $1.78 (2025) |
| 10-Year | +7.7% | $0.84 (2015) | $1.78 (2025) |
VSIAX fits dividend investors who want small-cap value exposure and are comfortable accepting a low (below 2%) yield in exchange for above-inflation dividend growth. The current yield of 1.74% sits above the fund's 5-year average of 1.48%, which means income buyers are getting a better entry point on yield than the recent historical norm. Growth has averaged 7.6% annually since 2016, which outpaces inflation over most of that period, but the income level itself is modest. The trade-off is clear: VSIAX delivers dividend growth and broad small-cap value diversification, not high current income.
