IGD Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund — distribution yield, history & ex-dividend dates
The Voya Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund, a closed-end equity mutual fund originally launched by Voya Investment Management LLC, is jointly managed by Voya Investments, LLC and NNIP Advisors B.V. This fund allocates capital to public equity markets worldwide, concentrating its investments on companies across various sectors. A central part of its strategy is to acquire dividend-paying stocks from companies boasting a market capitalization of $1 billion or more. Furthermore, the fund engages in call option investments, targeting specific indices, individual securities, or exchange-traded funds. Its portfolio is meticulously built through fundamental analysis, and its performance is benchmarked against both the MSCI World Index and the Chicago Board Options Exchange BuyWrite Monthly Index. Established in the United States on March 28, 2005, it was formerly recognized as the ING Global Equity Dividend and Premium Opportunity Fund.
Distribution Snapshot
Key Metrics
Distribution Yield
9.48%
At the Sep 14, 2026 price
The annual dividend as a percentage of the share price. A 3% yield is about $3 of dividends a year for every $100 invested at today's price.Annualized Distribution
$0.6000
The most recent payment scaled to a full year by how often it's paid. A $0.25 quarterly dividend annualizes to $1.00.Frequency
M Monthly
How often the dividend is paid: Q = quarterly (4x a year), M = monthly, S = semi-annual, A = annual.Rank Score
61.5
As of Sep 14, 2026
Our 0-100 house score blending yield quality, payout sustainability (the trailing-twelve-month payout ratio), profitability (TTM return on equity), valuation (TTM price-to-book) and payment reliability, recomputed daily. Higher means a stronger profile on those factors in our model — a research score, not advice or a recommendation to buy.RSI (14)
35
As of Sep 14, 2026
Relative Strength Index (0-100), a price-momentum gauge. Above 70 is often called 'overbought', below 30 'oversold'. A technical signal, not a dividend metric.52-Week Range
$5.60 – $6.70
Closes through Sep 11, 2026
The lowest and highest price over the past year — shows where today's price sits in its recent range.Payout Ratio
n/a
The share of earnings paid out as dividends over the trailing twelve months (TTM): dividends paid divided by net income across the company's four most recent reported quarters, dated by the latest quarter end. A fiscal-year tag such as FY2025 means only annual figures were available. Lower leaves more cushion; above 100% means paying out more than the company earned. It shows n/a for funds and when net income over the period was negative; for REITs and BDCs it is marked EPS-based, since they are judged on FFO/AFFO or net investment income instead.Years Paying
21
How many years of payments we have on record. This can understate very long histories where our data doesn't reach far enough back.Price / Book (TTM)
1.00
Price as of Sep 14, 2026; latest reported book value
Price-to-book ratio: the share price on the date shown divided by the latest reported book value per share. A rough valuation gauge, most useful for asset-heavy sectors like REITs, banks and insurers.S.A.F.E. Dividend Read
Quote & Key Data
Distribution Growth
Why the Yield Moved (90 Days)
IGD's distribution yield fell from 9.58% to 9.48% over the past ~90 days (-0.11 pp). Of that move, +0.00 pp came from changes in the distribution rate and -0.11 pp from the share price ($6.26 on Jun 16, 2026 → $6.33 on Sep 14, 2026). A yield that rises because the price fell is not an improvement in the payout itself.
Yield vs Its Own History
Across 271 daily observations over the past 16 months (through Sep 11, 2026), IGD's current yield is higher than approximately 16% of them. Our stored price history for IGD covers the past 16 months; 3- and 5-year averages are not yet computable from it and are deliberately not shown.
