Dividend distributions typically occur on a quarterly basis and are influenced by the individual dividend policies and performances of the constituent companies within the index. Investors in the OBOR Dividend ETF can expect to receive dividend returns, albeit alongside the potential for capital appreciation, given its exposure to emerging and frontier markets with a focus on Chinese issuers.
