If the recent pace holds — one-off jumps left out. Not a forecast. Pace: +10.87% a year, its typical raise over the last 5 years. Special payments are left out. From 2029 it slows by a quarter each year, to no less than 5%. Today's $2.40 a year would be $3.55 by 2031 - 4.19% on today's $84.86 price.

How Many DLS Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?

At $2.40 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 2,500 DLS shares, about $212,150 at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $84.86. $1,000 a month takes about 5,000 shares, about $424,300. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

WisdomTree International SmallCap Dividend Fund (DLS) pays $0.60 a share quarterly, $2.40 a year, a 2.83% run-rate yield at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $84.86. It has made 75 dividend payments since 2006.

At today’s rate of $0.60 quarterly and the last close of $84.86, this is what DLS pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.60$0.20$2.40
100 shares$60.00$20.00$240.00
$10,000 invested (117.8 shares)$70.70$23.57$282.82

5,000 shares ($1,000/mo)$3,000.00$1,000.00$12,000.00

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 DLS shares reinvest into 0.71 new shares each payment, about 2.9 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 142 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

DLS Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

48/100Near its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • DLS yields 2.83% today, at the Nov 9, 2026 close of $84.86.
  • Its own 10-year median is 2.87%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
  • No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 10-year history as it is.
Last 5 years: lowest to highest month-end yield
0.75% low8.17% high
Blue mark = today, grey = its 10-year median. A higher yield than usual means a lower price against the payout.

Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report

How it works. Each month-end over the last 10 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.

More Dividend Lists and Tools

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular dividend per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 9, 2026), never a trailing 12-month total, which lags after a raise and hides a cut. Specials and one-off payments never count in the rate; a payer whose regular payments differ in size is annualized over its last full cycle of regular payments. Raise streak = consecutive calendar years with a higher amount per payment than the year before; years without a cut = years in which the amount per payment held within 1%. The Dividend Safety Rating reads 3 visible lines: coverage, streak, raise pace and yield range for dividend stocks; NAV trend, NAV funding and payout stability for income funds. Similar payers = the same sector or fund group, nearest in market value or fund size. Payments, prices and filings come from DRIPCALC’s price and dividend database. History is not a forecast. This is data, not investment advice.
