About XYLD Dividends

This page shows the complete XYLD 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.

Global X S&P 500 Covered Call ETF (XYLD) is issued by Global X. Same at-the-money buy-write strategy as QYLD but on the S&P 500 Index. Monthly distributions for 12+ years, forward yield ~9-10%, expense ratio 0.60%. Lower yield than QYLD because S&P 500 options command thinner premiums than Nasdaq-100 options (lower implied volatility). Tends to hold up better in drawdowns than QYLD but compresses less in low-vol periods. The table records what XYLD paid. Judging whether the pattern can continue means looking through the wrapper at the names inside it. Koyfin lets you screen the basket and compare the holdings inside it 20% off for YieldMaxCalc readers.
