About JEPQ Dividends

This page shows the complete JEPQ dividend payment history, including ex-dates, payment dates, and per-share amounts. The chart above visualizes the trend of dividend payments over time, making it easy to spot increases, decreases, or irregular payouts.

JPMorgan Nasdaq Equity Premium Income ETF (JEPQ) is issued by JPMorgan. Same ELN-overlay structure as JEPI but with a Nasdaq-100 equity sleeve (concentrated in mega-cap tech). Forward yield ~11% — higher than JEPI because the Nasdaq-100 carries higher implied volatility, so short-call premiums are fatter. Monthly distributions, expense ratio 0.35%, AUM ~$34B, launched May 2022. Stronger total return than JEPI during growth regimes but more volatile in drawdowns.

JEPQ dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does JEPQ pay dividends?▾
JEPQ pays dividends monthly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment JEPQ has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own JEPQ 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 JEPQ dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend JEPQ 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 JEPQ, the current yield is roughly 10.33% 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 JEPQ dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
Dividend classification for JEPQ 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 JEPQ distributions change so much month to month?▾
Month-to-month changes in JEPQ 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 JEPQ 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.
