SNOY Distribution — Quick Facts
  • The widest gap of these twenty funds: a 45.55% distribution rate against a 1.04% 30-day SEC yield — a ratio of roughly 44, where the next widest is INYY at about 28 and JPO's is 8.
  • Return of capital: 97.9% of the October 28, 2026 distribution is estimated return of capital, with 2.1% income. The highest of the twenty funds covered here.
  • The record: 72 distributions since July 5, 2024. 17 monthly at $0.4366 to $1.7084, then 55 weekly at $0.0666 to $0.3875, median $0.1337.
  • Second largest here: $66.23M of net assets, behind only APLY's $112.12M, at a $10.64 NAV and a 1.00% gross expense ratio.
  • What the SEC yield means: it is a standardized measure that excludes option income by regulation, so a low figure is expected for any covered-call fund. At 1.04% it is nonetheless the lowest of these twenty.

Two published numbers 44 times apart are not evidence of anything by themselves — the SEC yield is required to leave out exactly the income this strategy generates. What makes the pairing worth printing here is the third number: a 97.9% return-of-capital estimate says the distribution is not coming from option premium either. The figures quoted in the text on this page are those the issuer published for the 29 October 2026 ex-date; the chart and the table above are drawn live from the payment record and show every distribution since, including any declared after that date.

Every Distribution Payment, Over Time

Each point is a declared SNOY distribution from July 5, 2024, with 17 monthly payments before October 2025 and 55 weekly ones after. The weekly line is steadier than the underlying would suggest, and the return-of-capital figure is where that steadiness is paid for.

Where 97.9% of This Week's Check Came From

The footnote under YieldMax's own distribution table estimates SNOY's October 28, 2026 payment at 97.9% return of capital and 2.1% income. Return of capital is the holder's own money being handed back, and it comes out of the $10.64 NAV it was paid from.

That is the context for the 45.55% distribution rate. The rate annualizes the payment regardless of what funded it, so a fund returning capital can advertise a high one indefinitely — right up to the point the capital runs short. Compare JPO on the same date: a 19.6% rate with 88.52% of the check estimated as income. The compare tool charts payouts against price.

When Is SNOY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?

SNOY pays weekly — declared each Wednesday, ex-dividend the Thursday — after 17 monthly payments through October 2025. 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 SNOY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.

Three Numbers That Have to Be Read Together

SNOY publishes a 45.55% distribution rate and a 1.04% 30-day SEC yield on the same page, and estimates 97.9% of its latest distribution as return of capital. Taken one at a time each is defensible: the SEC yield is required to exclude option income, and return of capital is a normal feature of this fund structure. Taken together they describe a 45% headline rate funded almost entirely from capital, on a strategy whose standardized earnings measure is the lowest of the twenty funds on this list.

Seventy-Two Distributions Since July 2024

The first payment was July 5, 2024. Seventeen monthly distributions ran $0.4366 to $1.7084; the 55 weekly ones since October 16, 2025 run $0.0666 to $0.3875 with a median of $0.1337, and the latest is $0.0932. The weekly series is notably level for an underlying as volatile as Snowflake, which is the observable consequence of funding payments from capital rather than from whatever premium a given week produced.

Size Does Not Settle It

At $66.23M SNOY is the second largest fund of these twenty, so this is not an obscure product — it is the second most widely held one here, paying weekly, with the composition figures above printed on the issuer's own page. The gross expense ratio is 1.00%. What to watch is whether the return-of-capital share retreats from 97.9%: every new declaration arrives on this page with its own split, so the question answers itself week by week.
