This Q3 FY2026 dividend, franked at the 30% tax rate, will be paid on 30 June 2026, with a record date of 11 June 2026. The declaration aligns with WQG’s quarterly progressive dividend policy, designed to enhance shareholder value through consistent increases.

These increased dividends are supported by the company’s strong investment performance.

An initial $10,000 investment at WQG’s ASX listing in June 2017 would have grown to $33,278 as at 31 March 2026, demonstrating robust underlying portfolio growth.
