- Pays: weekly since June 2026 — monthly before that. 43 distributions since November 2023.
- Trailing 12 months: $11.26 per share across 22 payments — about 27% of the recent share price.
- What it holds: 15 equally weighted big-tech stocks, with call options sold on them for premium income.
- Fee: 0.65% gross expense ratio — cheaper than most single-stock option funds, pricier than plain index funds.
- Largest payment: $1.195 in January 2024, back in the monthly era.
The switch to weekly changed the size of each check, not the rate: four small checks a month replaced one big one. Comparing today's ~$0.20 weekly payments against 2024's ~$1.00 monthly ones without that context makes the fund look like it collapsed — it didn't. The trailing-12 total is down about 7% from the year before, not 80%.
Each point below is one FEPI distribution since November 2023. The level shift in mid-2026 is the monthly-to-weekly switch — read the trailing totals, not the single-check heights, across that line.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $10.52 per share across 26 payments — down 12% from $11.88 in the 12 months before. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $10.66 — 1% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from FEPI'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.
In June 2026 FEPI went from paying monthly to paying weekly. REX called it a change in frequency, not rate — and the record backs that up: $11.26 per share in the trailing twelve months versus $12.08 the year before, a 7% drift, not a cliff. But every chart tool that plots single payments shows an 80% "drop" at the switch. Anyone quoting that number never read the record.
The strategy itself is the familiar trade: hold 15 big-tech names, sell their upside for premium. Its closest siblings on this site are AIPI (same structure, AI-heavy basket) and XPAY; the compare tool puts any of them side by side.

When Is FEPI's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
FEPI pays weekly — it switched from monthly in mid-2026. 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 FEPI's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Fifteen Tech Stocks, One Premium Engine
FEPI launched in late 2023 with a simple pitch: own the biggest names in tech — 15 of them, equally weighted — and convert their famous volatility into monthly income by selling call options against them. It has paid every scheduled distribution since November 27, 2023: 43 checks through August 2026, with the largest single one, $1.195, landing in January 2024. The gross expense ratio is 0.65%.
What Changed in 2026
Two things. First, the cadence: starting in June 2026 the fund pays weekly instead of monthly — REX framed it as a change in frequency, not rate, and the payment record agrees. Second, the slow drift: trailing twelve-month distributions total $11.26 per share against $12.08 in the prior year, down about 7%. That is the honest number to watch — not the dramatic-looking single-check drop at the frequency switch, which is an artifact of slicing the same income into smaller pieces.
The Trade You're Making
Selling calls on tech means renting out the sector's best weeks. In a sideways market FEPI collects premium and looks brilliant; in a monster rally it lags the same 15 stocks held plain, because the rally was sold in advance. The chart above shows the income side of that trade honestly — pair it with the Erosion Index to see the share-price side, and the compare tool to test it against AIPI or plain-index alternatives.
