JPMorgan Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPI) is issued by JPMorgan. Actively managed — holds ~100-120 low-volatility S&P 500 stocks picked by JPMorgan's fundamental team, with an equity-linked note (ELN) overlay that replicates a short S&P 500 call position.

ELN premiums are taxed as ordinary income, so best held in tax-advantaged accounts.

JEPI dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does JEPI pay dividends?▾
JEPI pays dividends monthly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment JEPI has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own JEPI before the ex-date to receive that payment; buying on or after the ex-date means you get the next one instead.
What does the JEPI dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend JEPI has paid, oriented left-to-right from oldest to newest. A rising trend means distributions are growing; a falling trend means they are shrinking. For JEPI, the current yield is roughly 8.47% on a trailing twelve-month basis. Pay attention to the shape of the curve — steady growth is a very different risk profile from a jagged curve with big month-to-month swings, which is common for options-income ETFs.
Are JEPI dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for JEPI varies. Most traditional dividend ETFs and stocks produce qualified dividends — taxed at the long-term capital gains rate — but some portion may be non-qualified. Check the year-end 1099-DIV for the exact breakdown.
Why did JEPI distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in JEPI can come from a few sources: timing of the payment relative to the ex-date calendar, special distributions, or shifts in the underlying portfolio. For most non-options-income ETFs, distributions are fairly predictable quarter-over-quarter, with occasional year-end special distributions.
Where does this JEPI dividend data come from?▾
Dividend records are sourced from official issuer dividend calendars and cross-referenced against press releases. Ex-dates and payment dates are the official dates as reported. For YieldMax funds specifically, we also ingest the weekly announcement press releases — that is why YieldMax ticker pages show upcoming announcements.
