What the record shows
JEPI has paid monthly since 2020, making 76 payments. Over the last 12 months, it distributed $4.563 per share across 12 payments, equivalent to an 8.16% trailing yield. The regular schedule contrasts with distributions that vary in size as income earned changes.
The latest distribution of $0.341 per share was 8.1% lower than the previous payment. The average for the three most recent distributions was $0.3597, down 11.8% from the prior average of $0.408. This points to lower recent distributions despite the consistent monthly schedule.
Payments began partway through the first year, so that annual total was shortened by the start date. Among full years, annual distributions increased in the second year, declined in each of the following two years, and then rose 12% to $4.721 per share in the latest full year. Over 12 months, distributions equaled 8% of the year-ago price and exceeded the 1.6% price decline, leaving an approximate total return of 6.4%. The lower price returned part of the cash payout through share value, but distributions more than offset that decline.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
