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

At $0.07 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 83,334 IVFAX shares, about $424,170 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $5.09. $1,000 a month takes about 166,667 shares, about $848,335. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.

Federated Hermes International Strategic Value Dividend Fund A (IVFAX) pays $0.006 a share monthly, $0.07 a year, a 1.41% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $5.09. Special dividends added $0.066 in the last year; they are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 178 distribution payments since 2008.

At today’s rate of $0.006 monthly and the last close of $5.09, this is what IVFAX pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:

You holdEach paymentPer month (avg)Per year
1 share$0.006$0.01$0.07
100 shares$0.60$0.60$7.20

166,667 shares ($1,000/mo)$1,000.00$1,000.00$12,000.02

With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 IVFAX shares reinvest into 0.12 new shares each payment, about 1.4 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 849 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with IVFAX’s own history in the IVFAX DRIP calculator.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, IVFAX paid $0.16 a share and its share price went from $4.53 to $5.09, so total return covered every dollar paid.

IVFAX Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range

26/100Below its usual yieldvs its 10-yr history
  • IVFAX yields 1.41% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $5.09.
  • Its own 10-year median is 3.36%, so today’s yield is below 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
0.67% low10.55% 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.

Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to IVFAX in fund size, IVFAX’s 1.41% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 7.36%.

How this page is built: the rate is the latest regular distribution per share; run-rate yield = rate × payments per year ÷ last close (Nov 13, 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 6 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.
