- Pays: monthly — usually going ex-dividend at the start of the month.
- First paid: December 2023, alongside its Nasdaq sibling GPIQ.
- What it is: Goldman Sachs' covered-call fund on the S&P 500 — with flexible coverage: managers vary how much upside they sell (roughly 25-75%) with market conditions.
- Today's rate: around 8% — deliberately moderate, keeping meaningful upside participation.
- The record so far: steady monthly checks around 39 cents with rising annual totals — the disciplined middle of the S&P income aisle.
GPIX targets high monthly income with partial, flexible call coverage — a balance-of-both design rather than a maximum-yield one.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from GPIX'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.

Most covered-call funds fix their coverage; GPIX's managers slide it — selling calls on more of the portfolio when premiums are rich, less when the market looks ready to run. The aim is the sweet spot: JEPI-class income (~8%) with better rally participation than mechanical designs. Two-plus years in, the execution has been quietly excellent: steady checks, growing totals, no drama.
Its natural comparisons: JEPI (the giant incumbent), SPYI (higher rate, tax-managed), and sibling GPIQ (same design on the Nasdaq). The backtest above scores the Goldman version.

When Is GPIX's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
GPIX pays monthly — usually going ex-dividend at the start of the month. 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 GPIX's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
GPIX's Record: The Quiet Executor
GPIX — the Goldman Sachs S&P 500 Core Premium Income ETF — has paid monthly since December 2023 with the least drama in the category: checks stepping gradually upward to today's ~39 cents, annual totals rising each year, an ~8% rate maintained without stunts. In an aisle full of extremes, competent-and-boring is a differentiator.
Why Flexible Coverage Matters
A covered-call fund's eternal dilemma — sell more upside for more income, or less for more growth — usually gets answered once, mechanically, forever. GPIX re-answers it continuously: coverage floats with conditions, trimming regret in melt-ups and harvesting fear when volatility spikes. It's active management applied exactly where it can matter, and so far the results validate it.
Where GPIX Fits
As a core S&P income holding for investors who want ~8% monthly without surrendering the market's long-run growth — the balanced answer between SPYI's maximized rate and plain index funds. Next expected date on the live calendar.
