What the record shows
QQQI has paid monthly since 2024, but its recent distributions have edged lower. It has made 32 payments. Over the last 12 months, QQQI paid $7.642 per share, equal to a 13.76% trailing yield.
The latest distribution was $0.634 per share, 2.8% lower than the previous payment. Recent distributions averaged $0.6403 per share, compared with the prior average of $0.6487, a decrease of 1.3%.
QQQI’s first full calendar year, 2025, produced $7.444 per share in distributions. The first year was short because payments began during it, so the annual history does not yet show a comparable multi-year progression. Over 12 months, the price gained 3.1% and distributions equaled 14.2% of the year-ago price, resulting in an approximate total return of 17.3%.

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.
