QDTE Total Return Analyzer

QDTE total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from QDTE over the holding period, and the change in NAV (share price) across the same window. Many high-yield funds advertise distribution rates that look spectacular in isolation but mask meaningful NAV erosion. The analyzer above shows exactly how much of your QDTE return came from distributions versus price change — a 50% annualized distribution rate paired with a 30% NAV decline is a very different investment than a 50% distribution with flat NAV.

Roundhill Daily 0DTE QQQ Option Income ETF (QDTE) is issued by Roundhill. First ETF to use zero-days-to-expiry (0DTE) options on the Nasdaq-100 / Innovation-100 Index. Holds the index overnight and sells out-of-the-money 0DTE calls each morning, pocketing the premium and letting the contracts expire same day. Weekly distributions, expense ratio 0.97%, yield swings widely with volatility (recent ~17-21% annualized). Launched March 2024 — part of a new generation of high-frequency covered-call ETFs. That strategy directly shapes the gap between headline yield and real yield: option-premium and covered-call funds tend to show large gaps, while traditional dividend ETFs and index funds usually show small ones.
