Global X - Intermediate-Term Treasury Ladder ETF (MLDR) pays $0.16 a share monthly, $1.92 a year, a 4.09% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $46.89. It has made 26 distribution payments since 2024.
At today’s rate of $0.16 monthly and the last close of $46.89, this is what MLDR pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.16 | $0.16 | $1.92 |
| 100 shares | $16.00 | $16.00 | $192.00 |
| $10,000 invested (213.3 shares) | $34.12 | $34.12 | $409.47 |
| 3,125 shares ($500/mo) | $500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.00 |
| 6,250 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.00 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 MLDR shares reinvest into 0.34 new shares each payment, about 4.2 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 294 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, MLDR paid $1.89 a share while its share price fell from $49.75 to $46.89. Total return was -$0.97 a share, so every dollar paid above was your own money coming back, and the share value fell $0.97 more on top.

MLDR Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- MLDR yields 4.09% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $46.89.
- Its own 2-year median is 3.65%, so today’s yield is above its usual level.
- No steady norm: under 3 years of regular payments on file. So this reads today’s yield against its own 2-year history as it is.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 2 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.
