How Many TDTT Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $2.14 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 2,809 TDTT shares, about $65,337 at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $23.26. $1,000 a month takes about 5,618 shares, about $130,675. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
FlexShares iBoxx 3 Year Target Duration TIPS Index Fund (TDTT) pays $0.178 a share monthly, $2.14 a year, a 9.18% run-rate yield at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $23.26. It has made 96 distribution payments since 2011.
At today’s rate of $0.178 monthly and the last close of $23.26, this is what TDTT pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.178 | $0.18 | $2.14 |
| 100 shares | $17.80 | $17.80 | $213.60 |
| $10,000 invested (429.9 shares) | $76.53 | $76.53 | $918.31 |
| 2,809 shares ($500/mo) | $500.00 | $500.00 | $6,000.02 |
| 5,618 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.00 | $1,000.00 | $12,000.05 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 TDTT shares reinvest into 0.77 new shares each payment, about 9.6 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 131 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 TDTT’s own history in the TDTT DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 11, 2026, TDTT paid $1.05 a share while its share price fell from $24.23 to $23.26. Distributions exceeded total return by $0.97 a share, so part of every payment above was your own money coming back.

TDTT Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- TDTT yields 9.18% today, at the Nov 11, 2026 close of $23.26.
- Its own 10-year median is 2.49%, so today’s yield is well above 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.

TDTT vs Similar Dividend Funds (TSCSX, FBTIX...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management closest to TDTT in fund size, TDTT’s 9.18% run-rate yield is above the group’s middle yield of 5.21%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
