ACYQ Dividend History

• First check: $0.3715 per share, ex-dividend September 1, 2026 — the fund's first distribution ever, about ten weeks after its June 23, 2026 launch at $20.00.
• What it is: an autocallable income ETF — instead of selling call options, it holds contracts that pay fixed coupons as long as the underlying index stays above a barrier, and that can be "called" (ended early, principal returned) when markets rise. Plain-English walkthrough on our autocallable ETF tracker.
• The two yields: First Trust's own page lists a 21.18% distribution rate next to a 2.80% thirty-day SEC yield (both as of late August 2026). That gap is the honest summary of the product: big scheduled coupons, modest underlying earning power.
• Fee: 0.75% expense ratio (issuer page, verified September 2026). Assets reached roughly $50.6 million by September 5 — about 2.7 million shares outstanding.
• The book: just 3 holdings excluding cash per the issuer's September 4 data — this is a portfolio of income contracts, not a basket of hundreds of stocks. NAV sat near $19.40 that day against the $20.00 June launch price.
• Cadence: not formally stated in the summary prospectus — one check exists. The rhythm becomes a fact here as more checks land.

One distribution is a data point, not a pattern. We don't annualize a single check, and neither should any yield screenshot you see — the distribution rate above is the issuer's own figure, and the fund's actual delivered cadence starts becoming visible with check two.

"Next expected" is estimated from ACYQ's recent payment rhythm — the fund announces exact dates shortly before each payout, and the data feed can lag a few days. You must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout; the cash typically arrives days later. See every fund's upcoming date on the live dividend calendar.

A real total-return estimate, assuming every payout was reinvested — including what happened to the share price. Before taxes and fees. Past performance does not predict the future.

A covered-call fund earns whatever premium the market pays that week. An autocallable fund is the opposite temperament: its contracts promise fixed coupons, paid as long as the underlying index hasn't fallen through a preset barrier — and when markets rise, the contracts get called away early and must be replaced at whatever terms then prevail. Steady checks in sideways markets, reinvestment risk in rallies, and real losses if the barrier ever breaks.

That barrier is the part most marketing skips, so we built a crash simulator that lets you drop the market on an autocallable position and watch what happens to the coupons and the principal. The full list of funds in this category — who's paying, who's still waiting — lives on the autocallable tracker.
