BlackRock’s iShares division will convert the World Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF to a monthly dividend distribution schedule, effective September 4, 2026.

The change, disclosed in a regulatory filing to the London Stock Exchange on Thursday, reflects a shift from the fund’s current quarterly payment structure. A revised prospectus for iShares III plc is expected to be published around the same date to formalize the adjustment.

The World Equity High Income Active UCITS ETF, listed under ISIN IE000KJPDY61, is managed by BlackRock’s iShares unit. Shareholders will receive updated documentation via the UK Financial Conduct Authority’s national storage mechanism and the iShares website. Investors in the United Kingdom, Germany, and Switzerland have been provided with regional contact details for inquiries regarding the transition.
