- By the record: the payment record opens January 8, 2025 and holds 21 checks, with $6.31 per share across 12 payments in the twelve months to October 4, 2026, still short of a full two-year record so no prior-year comparison holds yet, equal to about 12% of the recent ~$52.85 share price.
- Pays: monthly — unlike the weekly single-stock YieldMax funds.
- First paid: January 2025 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: call-spread income on 50 of the largest U.S. companies by market cap, run to a Target 12 mandate: aim for a 12% annualized distribution rate.
- Fee: 1.09% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page).
- The point: a deliberately calmer YieldMax — diversified underlying, moderate target, monthly rhythm.
Target 12 means exactly that — a target. Twelve percent is navigation, not contract — years can land over or under, and the table shows which. What follows is the paid record, not the brochure.
BIGY pays monthly. Every BIGY distribution from January 2025 forward gets a point below.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $6.31 per share across 12 payments — paying since Jan 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $6.83 — 8% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: up 4% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 21 payments over 21 months; the largest single payment was $0.542 (Nov 2025).
- Payment drops ≥20% below trend, last 24 months: none. Get one short email if that changes →
- Payment steadiness: the last 12 checks wobble ±2% around their median. Compare that against any fund →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from BIGY'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.
BIGY exists for investors who liked the YieldMax engine but not the single-stock roulette — fifty mega-caps, one steering wheel. The Target 12 line inverts the design: pick the payout rate first (12% a year), diversify the underlying (50 mega-caps), and sell only as much premium as the target needs. Less lottery, more dial.
Fifty names and a fixed aim put BIGY in covered-call-stalwart territory, whatever the family name suggests — see the compare tool.

When Is BIGY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
BIGY pays monthly. The exact date of each payout is announced by the fund only shortly beforehand, so no site can promise the next date — but the live schedule box above shows the most recent ex-dividend date and the expected window for the next one, computed from BIGY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
BIGY's Record So Far
BIGY launched in November 2024 as part of YieldMax's Target 12 line and has paid monthly since January 2025. Above, each declared check plots against what a smooth 12% pace would have required.
The Dial, Not the Lottery
Every premium seller trades away upside — BIGY simply turns the dial to 'moderate' where its single-stock cousins pin it to the max. Its wilder siblings extract every dollar one ticker's chaos offers; BIGY declines to. BIGY sells only as hard as a 12% annual rate requires, across 50 of the largest U.S. companies by market cap — leaving more of the market's upside in the fund. Moderation's bill is equally plain — no triple-digit screenshots will ever feature this ticker.
