What the record shows
JEPQ has paid monthly since distributions began in 2022, making 53 payments through the latest distribution. Over the last 12 months, JEPQ paid $6.886 per share, equivalent to an 11.32% trailing yield. Its recent average distribution was 9.1% higher than the preceding average, although individual monthly amounts continued to vary with income earned.
Annual distributions rose in every full calendar year from 2023 through 2025, reaching $6.123 per share in the latest full year. The eight payments in 2022 formed a short opening year because distributions began during that year, so its total is not comparable with the subsequent full-year totals.
Over the latest 12 months, JEPQ’s price rose 6.1%, while distributions equaled 12% of its price a year earlier. The combination produced an approximate total return of 18.1%. The distributions therefore accompanied a rising price rather than offsetting a price decline that returned capital through a lower market value.

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.
