Do ETFs pay interest and dividends?

Just like individual stocks and bonds, ETFs periodically pay interest and dividends. ETFs collect the interest and dividends paid by the individual securities they hold and then periodically distribute them to their shareholders. Payment schedules vary for different ETF providers and can be found in the prospectus or the provider's website.

How often do ETFs pay dividends?

That could mean the ETF is collecting dividends monthly, reinvesting them in the fund temporarily, and then sending out aggregate payments to the ETF shareholders quarterly. The ETF's prospectus will specify which months it pays dividends. You can also look up a fund's dividend history on various financial websites.
