A distribution is the fund passing its income — dividends and interest from what it holds, and any realised capital gains — through to shareholders, per share. Vanguard 500 Index Fund pays quarterly, and paid $7.418 per share over the last twelve months, a trailing yield of 1.03%.
Each bar is one distribution, dated by its ex-date — the first day the shares trade without it.
