What the record shows
QQQY has paid weekly since distributions began in 2023, with 117 payments through the latest distribution. Over the past year, 52 payments totaled $7.481 per share and produced a 32.96% trailing yield. The latest payment was lower than its predecessor, while the recent average was also slightly below the prior average.
Annual distributions rose 134.9% to $25.719 per share in 2024, then fell 58.5% to $10.681 the following year. The opening year was short only because payments began during it, so its annual total is not comparable with the later full years. The lower annual total followed a shift to more frequent, smaller distributions.
Over the past year, distributions equaled 29.1% of the price from a year earlier, while QQQY’s price fell 11.7%. Together, those figures produced an approximate total return of 17.4%. The distributions more than offset the price decline, but the falling price returned part of the high payout through the price.

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.
