QYLG Dividend History

• By the record: counting from October 19, 2020 the fund has made 73 payments, 13 of them in the year to October 4, 2026, worth $5.09 per share, against $7.09 a year earlier, a move of 28% down, or about 17% of the ~$30.68 share price.
• Pays: monthly.
• First paid: October 2020 — every payment since is charted below.
• What it is: It buys the stocks in the Nasdaq-100 and writes calls on only about 50% of the portfolio's value — half the income of a full overwrite, half the upside kept.
• Fee: 0.35% expense ratio (issuer fund page).
• The pedigree: part of Global X's covered-call family alongside QYLD — index-based, rules-driven, with one of the longest payment records in the category.

QYLG is the halfway house of index buy-writes: only half the portfolio's upside is sold, so it keeps genuine growth exposure its fully-covered siblings surrendered. Between growth funds and income funds, this is the documented midpoint.

QYLG pays monthly. Each point below is one distribution since the fund began paying in October 2020.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.

"Next expected" is estimated from QYLG'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.

Before weekly payers, 0DTE spreads, and 100%+ headline yields, there was this: buy an index, write calls on it, pay out the premium monthly. Within the Global X lineup, QYLG is the outlier by construction — the only member that deliberately leaves half the index unsold.

Its record answers a precise question — what does keeping half your upside cost in income? — and the year table prices it annually. Set it against QYLD — same index, full coverage — for the cleanest A/B in the category; the Erosion Index scores the price halves.
