Vanguard were supposed to announce the final dividend of the calendar year for VWRL yesterday (10th DeC) according to their ETF Distribution Schedule. Anyone know where they actually announce it? Doesn't yet appear on the VWRL distributions page or any where else on the UK site as far as I can see.

The Sept one was not made until 5.07pm so check investegate later on

Also wondering what happened to this. Didn't get published on Friday either as far as I could see.

I wonder if they changed the payment date at some point but didn't update the calendar they have on the site?

Mind you, I was trying to see what the dividend was for their FTSE Global All-Cap fund and that's not showing on the Vanguard site yet either, despite the fact that the record and XD dates for the last 3 years have been 31 Oct and 1 Nov!

No doubt all will be revealed sometime soon.

Yes, supposed to be announced 10th. Not appeared 11th or 12th on investegate, or the Vanguard site. Will check again on Monday. Should be my last dividend for this calendar year and I will see how far down my dividends are this year (likely to be -29%).

Still not announced yet.
I was wondering why I had so much trouble finding any info on future dividend dates on the Vanguard website. It turns out I'm considered too stupid and naive to be allowed such information!

This document is directed at professional investors only (as defined under the MiFID II Directive) investing for their own account (including management companies (fund of funds) and professional clients investing on behalf of their discretionary clients). Not to be distributed to the public.

I'd put up a link to the ETF Distribution Schedule but according to the above quote I'm not allowed to distribute to the public.

Seems a little over the top!

On the other hand, they link themselves to that schedule from their own personal investor site: https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/inve ... nformation (last link in the list), so they appear to have made their own demand useless. So here's their own link designed for personal investors: https://global.vanguard.com/portal/site ... ocId=11632

I've searched for that on the vanguard site multiple times with multiple different key words and failed to find it - knowing it existed I found it with google, and then looked on the advisor site to find other information (the letter to shareholders about the closure of the factor funds) and it was on the front page with the comment it was not for public dissemination. Oh the intricacies (or stupidity) of the MiFID regulations.

The ETF distributions have been announced, eg https://www.vanguardinvestor.co.uk/inve ... tributions . The fund linked to above still says "yet to distribute".

Vanguard has published its 2021 calendar on its financial advisor site:
https://api.vanguard.com/rs/gre/gls/1.3 ... s/11632/gb

The format is a little different from previous years with the actual dates hidden a little on the second page.

I also noticed the VWRL first-quarter dividend is payable on 31 March, so there will be five payments in this tax year as the same payment in 2020 was on 8 April.
