QQQY at a glance

QQQY (Definance Nasdaq 100 Enhanced Options & 0DTE Income ETF) currently pays a 30.0% distribution yield, paid monthly. On a $10,000 investment that works out to about $3,000 a year, or roughly $250 a month before taxes. That yield ranks #80 of the 218 income ETFs we track.

It charges an expense ratio of 1.01%, which is on the higher end of the ETFs we track (about $101 a year per $10,000 invested) and it manages $187M in assets.

Yield is only half the story. QQQY's total return since it launched on September 14, 2023 is +58% (about +16% per year), and our data flags price decay, meaning the share price is below where it started. Part of the income has been offset by a shrinking share price, so look at the total return, not just the payout.
