Great question! VAS (the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF) is a very popular ETF in Australia and has over $10 B invested in it.

VAS is known for paying regular distributions (fancy word for dividends when we talk about ETFs), as it’s made up of many large Australian companies (like BHP, Telstra and CBA) that have a track record of paying dividends.

VAS pays distributions quarterly, so you can expect to see any money hit your linked bank account each year in January, April, July and October (unless you turn on a reinvestment plan through your Computershare account).

You can check these details out for any ETF by heading to the ETF providers website and looking at the ETFs information page: https://www.vanguard.com.au/adviser/products/...

We also had a deep dive into the VAS ETF in our recent episode on The Australian Finance Podcast, which might be of interest: https://www.raskmedia.com.au/2022/07/15/etf-r...

Hope this helps!
