XDTE Total Return Analyzer

XDTE total return combines two components: the cumulative distributions you received from XDTE 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 XDTE 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 SPY Option Income ETF (XDTE) is issued by Roundhill. Same 0DTE strategy as QDTE but on the S&P 500. Holds S&P 500 exposure overnight and sells out-of-the-money 0DTE calls each morning for weekly income. Forward yield ~30-37% (highly variable with VIX regime), expense ratio 0.97%. Distributions frequently exceed income and gains, meaning a portion is return-of-capital — important to understand for tax planning. Launched March 2024 alongside QDTE. 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.
