EUXS Interim Distribution Rate Set at £0.0154 Per Share for Current Financial Year

The announcement confirms that iShares I Public Limited Company, the Irish-domiciled umbrella fund structure under which the ETF operates, has declared an interim distribution of £0.0154 per share for the iShares MSCI Europe ex-UK GBP Hedged UCITS ETF (Dist). The fund carries ISIN IE00BVDPJP67 and distributes income in British pounds sterling. As a distributing share class, the fund passes income — derived from dividends paid by its underlying European equity holdings — directly to unitholders rather than reinvesting it within the fund, making the distribution dates particularly relevant for income-focused investors.

Key Dates: Ex-Dividend 2 November, Payment Scheduled for 18 November 2026

Investors seeking to qualify for this interim distribution must hold shares in the fund prior to the ex-dividend date of 2 November 2026. The record date is confirmed as 3 November 2026, and payment is scheduled for 18 November 2026. These dates follow a standard settlement sequence and mean that investors who purchase shares on or after 2 November 2026 will not be entitled to this particular distribution. Those already holding shares on the relevant dates should expect payment to arrive via their broker or nominee account on or around 18 November 2026.

GBP Currency Hedging Feature Shields UK Investors from Euro Fluctuations

The fund's GBP-hedged structure is a defining characteristic for UK-based investors. By hedging the underlying euro and other European currency exposures back to sterling, the ETF aims to isolate the equity return of continental European markets, removing the impact of fluctuations between the pound and the euro or other regional currencies. This approach makes the fund particularly relevant for UK investors who want exposure to large and mid-cap equities across eurozone and broader European markets — excluding UK-listed companies — without taking on additional currency risk relative to their sterling base.
