About SVOL Dividends

This page shows the complete SVOL 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.

Simplify Volatility Premium ETF (SVOL) is issued by Simplify. Holds Treasuries and shorts VIX futures at roughly -0.2x to -0.3x leverage, capturing the volatility risk premium (the gap between implied and realized volatility). Monthly distributions of ~$0.30/share, yield ~21%. A small long-call option overlay protects against tail vol spikes. Works best in low/moderate-vol regimes; struggles when VIX stays elevated — NAV drawdown during vol-spike regimes is the main risk.

Open the SVOL projection tool to model how reinvesting these dividends would compound over time, or check the Total Return Analyzer to see the real yield after accounting for NAV changes.

SVOL dividend history — frequently asked questions

How often does SVOL pay dividends?▾
SVOL pays dividends monthly. The dividend history table and chart above show every payment SVOL has made, with the ex-dividend date, payment date, and per-share amount. The ex-date is the cutoff — you must own SVOL 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 SVOL dividend history chart show?▾
The chart plots the per-share amount of every dividend SVOL 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 SVOL, the current yield is roughly 22.31% 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 SVOL dividends qualified or ordinary?▾
SVOL distributions are typically a mix of ordinary income, short-term capital gains, and return of capital. The exact breakdown is disclosed each year on the 1099-DIV. Covered-call ETFs vary — some lean qualified, some lean ordinary, depending on the exact options strategy used. For tax planning, look at the fund's most recent 19a-1 notice or consult a tax advisor.
Why did SVOL distributions change so much month to month?▾
Options-income ETFs like SVOL generate distributions from selling call options, and option premium is a direct function of implied volatility. When the underlying is volatile, premium is fat and distributions are big; when the underlying is calm, premium shrinks and distributions fall. A 40% month-over-month change is normal. Large drops usually mean the underlying had a quiet month; large rises usually mean the underlying had a choppy or declining month with elevated volatility.
Where does this SVOL 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.
