Autocallable ETFs: The Complete List

Eighteen autocallable ETFs have declared real distributions. The "latest payment" column is pulled live from each fund's actual payment data every time this page loads.

*Rate = issuer-reported annualized distribution rate or target at our last verification (July-August 2026) — these move; check the linked chart pages for what each fund is paying right now. "—" means we haven't verified a figure against the issuer yet and won't guess. Linked tickers have full payment-by-payment charts; the rest join our chart engine as their records grow.

The category's whole pitch is consistent income — so we measure it. For every payer with at least four checks, this board computes how much its recent payments actually wobble around its typical check. Recomputed from live payment data on every visit; smaller wobble ranks higher.

*Wobble = how far the fund's recent payments (up to the last 12) typically stray from its median check, as a percentage. ±0% would be perfectly identical checks. Trend compares the newer half of that window to the older half. Steady payments are only half the story — pair this with the Erosion Index to check what the share price did while the checks stayed pretty. Free to cite with attribution to Snowball Dividends.

Every yield number you hear about these funds is a target, not a track record. We watch them daily and will chart every payment from check #1.

Ten autocallable ETFs have never declared a distribution. Their first checks — expected within weeks for the August launches — are the moment their advertised targets become real numbers. Our radar checks every one of them daily; this board flips automatically the day a first distribution appears in the data.

Want the first check the day it lands? One short email when any of these funds declares — that's the whole list.

• What gets insured: a single index (CAIE, CAIQ, PAYM, PAYH, ATCL, the ProShares suite), a worst-of basket of three indexes (ACII — richer coupons, three tripwires), individual stocks pooled in a ladder (ACEI, ACYQ), or one single stock — GraniteShares runs a whole suite of these (Tesla, Nvidia, Robinhood, Coinbase, Strategy, Palantir, Super Micro, MARA: TLA, ANV, AHD, ATC, MSR, PLA, SCA, MRA), the concentrated extreme with the category's richest checks.
• The volatility dial: coupons are priced off volatility, so issuers engineer it — from PAYM's defensive 20% target (~10% income) through PAYH's 35% (~17%) to ATCL's 40% (SOFR + 10% target). More volatility, richer coupons, closer barriers.
• Ladder granularity: Calamos ladders 52+ positions; ATCL starts a new one nearly every trading day (250+ live). Finer ladders smooth timing risk.
• Payment rhythm: everyone pays monthly except VAIE (weekly) — and ATCL pays mid-month while most pay near month-end, which matters if you're smoothing an income calendar.

Full plain-English mechanics — coupons, barriers, autocall dates, and what breaks in a crash — in the autocallable ETF explainer.

Every fund on this page sells the same thing: crash insurance. The coupons are the premium collected for agreeing to absorb deep losses if markets fall through distant barriers. The whole category launched into a market that has never tested those barriers — no US autocallable ETF has been through a genuine bear market yet. Steady checks in the tables above are the strategy's good weather, not proof it can't rain.
