State Street Multi-Asset Real Return ETF (RLY) pays $0.073 a share quarterly, $0.29 a year, a 0.80% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $36.47. Special dividends added $0.967 in the last year; they are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 57 dividend payments since 2012.
At today’s rate of $0.073 quarterly and the last close of $36.47, this is what RLY pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.073 | $0.02 | $0.29 |
| 100 shares | $7.30 | $2.43 | $29.20 |
| $10,000 invested (274.2 shares) | $20.02 | $6.67 | $80.07 |
| 20,548 shares ($500/mo) | $1,500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.02 |
| 41,096 shares ($1,000/mo) | $3,000.01 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.03 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 RLY shares reinvest into 0.20 new shares each payment, about 0.8 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 500 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less.

RLY Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- RLY yields 0.80% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $36.47.
- Its own 10-year median is 1.48%, 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.
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.
