- Pays: monthly.
- First paid: December 2020 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: an actively managed fund holding AAA-rated collateralized loan obligations — the most senior slices of pooled corporate loans, floating-rate by nature.
- Fee: 0.20% expense ratio (gross = net; issuer page).
- The character: floating-rate coupons that reset with short-term rates — JAAA yields well when rates are high and gives it back as they fall, with AAA credit underneath.
Bond-fund income is the market's most transparent: the fund passes through what its holdings yield, so the chart below is really a chart of interest rates as lived by income investors — no option overlays, no engineered payouts.
JAAA pays monthly. Each point below is one dividend since December 2020.
Loading the latest data…
Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Dividend / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from JAAA'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.
Most funds on this site manufacture yield — options sold, leverage added, payouts engineered. JAAA just owns debt and forwards the interest. That makes its chart the honest baseline: whatever an option-income fund pays above this is the price of the extra risk it carries.
Watch how differently it moves from the equity-income funds — overlay JAAA against any of them on the compare tool, and find its next payday on the live dividend calendar.

When Is JAAA's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
JAAA 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 JAAA's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
JAAA's Record So Far
JAAA — the Janus Henderson AAA CLO ETF — launched in October 2020 and has paid monthly since December 2020. The chart above shows every declared dividend.
The Institutional Yield Grab, Retail-Sized
For decades AAA CLO paper was an institutions-only market; JAAA put it in a ticker in 2020 and grew into one of the fastest-adopted income funds in the country. Its appeal is specific: yields above comparable-rated bonds, near-zero duration (coupons float), and top-of-stack credit. Its limits are just as specific: when short rates fall, so does the income — the chart above will show it.
Reading the Chart Honestly
For a bond fund, the payment line tracks interest rates and the share price tracks them inversely — judge the package on total return for your holding period, not either line alone. The compare tool puts JAAA beside anything else we track.
