I am trying to figure out what size of yield one might expect for RWX in 2011 and why it had such a huge quarterly dividend ($2.50/sh +/-) in December 2010. Its total distribution for 2010 was $3.38/sh (8.5% +/-), but without its last quarter distribution in December, its yield would have been only about 2.0%. The fund had a total distribution of $1.68/sh in 2009, $1.53/sh in 2008, and $1.80 in 2007. Also, why does SPDR Dow Jones currently (7-9-11) show the fund having a yield of 8.81%, but its fund's index (Dow Jones Global ex-US Real Estate) only a yield of 3.84%?
