How JPMorgan ETFs pay

JPMorgan's premium income ETFs, JEPI and JEPQ, hold a portfolio of stocks and earn option income through equity-linked notes that sell index call options. They pay monthly.

A JPMorgan ETF's distribution changes from one payment to the next, because it depends on the option premium the fund collected. The annualized rate in the table multiplies the latest payment by the number of payments in a year (12 for monthly funds) and divides by today's price, so it moves every time a new distribution is declared.

Distributions can include return of capital, which reduces your cost basis rather than counting as income. Check the fund's Section 19a notice for the estimated split, and look at the total return column: it shows the price change plus distributions, what a holder actually earned.
