- This fund is short NVDA. DIPS sells options against a synthetic short NVIDIA position. Its share price moves opposite to NVDA's. YieldMax's long-side fund on the same stock is NVDY.
- Return of capital: 90.93% of the October 28, 2026 distribution is estimated return of capital, with only 9.07% income — straight from the footnote under YieldMax's table.
- The record: 70 distributions since September 6, 2024. 14 were monthly at $0.1716 to $1.2166; the 56 since October 9, 2025 are weekly, at $0.043 to $0.7548.
- The two published yields: 34.6% distribution rate, 3.38% 30-day SEC yield.
- Size and fee: $7.33M of net assets — the second smallest of these twenty — at a $31.86 NAV, on a 1.05% gross expense ratio.
A 90.93% return-of-capital estimate and a 100%-income one buy you the same cash this week. The difference is what happens to the NAV the cash came out of, which is why this site charts payments against price rather than ranking funds by payout. The figures quoted in the text on this page are those the issuer published for the 29 October 2026 ex-date; the chart and the table above are drawn live from the payment record and show every distribution since, including any declared after that date.
Each point is a declared DIPS distribution from September 6, 2024. Fourteen monthly payments sit to the left of October 2025 and 56 weekly ones to the right. The direction of the bet is not in this chart at all: DIPS rises when NVIDIA falls.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from DIPS'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.
The October 28, 2026 distribution is $0.212, and YieldMax estimates 90.93% of it as return of capital against 9.07% income. Return of capital is the holder's own money being handed back, and it reduces NAV by the amount returned. It is not a fee and not a loss, but it is also not a yield.
Read that next to the 34.6% distribution rate on the same page. The rate annualizes the payment without regard to what funded it, so a fund can show a high one while most of each check is capital coming back. The compare tool plots the distributions against the share price, which is where a returned check and an earned one start to look different.

When Is DIPS's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
DIPS pays weekly — declared each Wednesday, ex-dividend the Thursday — after 14 monthly payments through October 2025. 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 DIPS's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Two Things the Ticker Does Not Tell You
DIPS is short NVIDIA, and 90.93% of its latest distribution is estimated return of capital. Neither fact is apparent from a payout screener, and both change what the fund is. The first means the share price moves opposite to the most-watched stock in the market; the second means most of that $0.212 is capital being returned rather than income the portfolio earned.
Seventy Distributions Since September 2024
The record starts September 6, 2024. Fourteen monthly payments came first, $0.1716 to $1.2166, and 56 weekly ones have followed since October 9, 2025, between $0.043 and $0.7548. DIPS and BABO and JPO all switched on that October 9 date, a week before the rest of this cohort, which is worth knowing if you are lining their charts up against each other.
The Smallest Fund Here but One
At $7.33M of net assets DIPS is the second smallest of the twenty funds on this list, ahead only of DRAY at $2.65M. Across the 56 weekly payments the median check is $0.3157, so the latest $0.212 is meaningfully below the middle of its own weekly record — about a third under it. Size is not a verdict on a fund, but it affects the spread a buyer pays and how much a single large redemption moves things, and it is the kind of figure that does not appear on a chart of payments. The NAV is $31.86 and the gross expense ratio 1.05%.
