- Pays: monthly, and Kurv publishes its dates ahead — ex-dates are posted through December 16, 2026, with amounts declared about a day before each one.
- The run so far: 12 distributions since October 2025. It opened at $0.50, paid $0.75 for five straight months through the spring, and has paid $0.60 four times running since June.
- The two yields: Kurv shows a distribution rate of 30.88% and a 30-day SEC yield of 3.37%. That gap is the most important thing on this page, and the next fact explains it.
- Mostly your own capital: per Kurv's most recent 19a-1 notice, an estimated 91% of the distribution is return of capital. A 19a-1 figure is an estimate that gets trued up after the fund's year end, so treat it as a direction rather than a settled number.
- Fee: a 0.99% expense ratio, on $120,043,455 of net assets.
A level distribution and a level fund are different claims. KSLV's checks have barely moved since June, while its NAV is down 22.03% over six months and 18.13% year to date. Both figures come off Kurv's own page, a scroll apart.
Each point below is one real KSLV distribution, starting with its first on October 22, 2025. The line is unusually flat for an income fund — read it alongside the share price, because what holds the line level is not the same as what earns it.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $7.70 per share across 12 payments — paying since Oct 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $8.78 — a projection, not a promise: the fund hasn't paid for a full year yet. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: down 7% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 12 payments over 11 months; the largest single payment was $0.75 (Jan 2026).

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from KSLV'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.

KSLV has paid $0.60 four months running, which is about as steady as this corner of the market gets. The reason to look past that is on Kurv's own page: its 30-day SEC yield is 3.37% against a distribution rate of 30.88%, and the note under its distribution table estimates roughly 91% of each payment as return of capital.
Return of capital is your own money coming back, which is why a fund can hold a payment level while its NAV falls — and KSLV's NAV is down 22.03% over six months and 18.13% year to date, against a since-inception figure still positive at 21.04%. None of that makes the fund bad; silver had a hard stretch and the strategy writes calls on it. It does mean the steady check is the wrong number to judge it by. The compare tool puts the payouts and the share price on one chart, which is the only way to see both at once.

When Is KSLV's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
KSLV pays monthly — Kurv publishes its schedule ahead, with ex-dates set for October 21, November 18, November 24 and December 16, 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 KSLV's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
Twelve Checks, and Only Two Different Numbers Since January
KSLV listed on September 29, 2025 and paid its first distribution on October 22. The run since is flatter than almost anything else on this site: $0.50 twice, $0.55 once, then $0.75 for five consecutive months, and $0.60 for the four months since June. Low to high across the entire record is $0.50 to $0.75.
The Gap Between the Two Published Yields
Kurv shows a distribution rate of 30.88% and a 30-day SEC yield of 3.37% on the same page. The first describes what is being paid out, annualized. The second is the standardized measure of what the portfolio earns. When those two sit nine times apart, the difference has to come from somewhere, and the fund says where: an estimated 91% of the distribution is return of capital per its most recent 19a-1 notice.
That estimate deserves one caution the notice itself carries. A 19a-1 composition is calculated during the year and trued up once the fund works through its year end, so it is the fund's current best accounting view rather than the final tax characterization. The direction is clear; the exact figure is not final.
What the Share Price Did While the Checks Held
Measured on Kurv's own numbers as of October 1, 2026, NAV is down 11.07% over one month, down 22.03% over six, and down 18.13% year to date, while the since-inception figure remains positive at 21.04% and the one-year at 21.75%. A holder from day one is still ahead; a holder from six months ago is not, and the distribution looked identical to both of them. That is the practical reason this site charts payments and prices together.
What Would Change the Read
Two things. Whether the $0.60 survives contact with the October 21 and November ex-dates, because four identical checks is a policy holding rather than a demonstrated floor. And what the year-end accounting does to that 91%: if the trued-up figure comes in far lower, the fund has been earning more of its distribution than the interim notices suggested, and this page will say so. Both land here as they happen.
