- By the record: counting from January 8, 2025 the fund has made 21 payments, 12 of them in the year to October 4, 2026, worth $9.07 per share, still short of a full two-year record so no prior-year comparison holds yet, equal to about 9% of the recent ~$100.04 share price.
- Pays: monthly — unlike the weekly single-stock YieldMax funds.
- First paid: January 2025 — every payment since is charted below.
- What it is: call-spread income on a focused portfolio of 15-30 semiconductor companies, run to a Target 12 mandate: aim for a 12% annualized distribution rate.
- Fee: 1.06% gross expense ratio (issuer fund page).
- The point: a deliberately calmer YieldMax — diversified underlying, moderate target, monthly rhythm.
Target 12 means exactly that — a target. The 12% figure steers the strategy; semiconductor reality decides the year's actual print. Below sits the delivered record — design meeting market.
SOXY pays monthly. One point per check, January 2025 to now.

Each point is one payment; the line ends at the most recent payout. The table below totals them by year.
- Trailing 12 months: $9.07 per share across 12 payments — paying since Jan 2025, so no full prior-year comparison yet. What a change like that does to your income →
- Current pace: recent payments annualize to $11.13 — 23% above the trailing figure. When those two disagree, the trailing yield is quoting the past. Live cut & raise board →
- Share price, same 12 months: up 92% (dividends excluded) — income and principal are one story. Erosion Index →
- Record: 21 payments over 21 months; the largest single payment was $1.04 (Jul 2026).
- Payment drops ≥20% below trend, last 24 months: none. Get one short email if that changes →
- Payment steadiness: the last 12 checks wobble ±20% around their median. Compare that against any fund →

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |

"Next expected" is estimated from SOXY'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.
The famous YieldMax funds chase whatever premium a single wild stock offers — yields swing from spectacular to shrinking, weekly. The Target 12 line inverts the design: pick the payout rate first (12% a year), diversify the underlying (15-30 chip names), and sell only as much premium as the target needs. Less lottery, more dial.
In temperament SOXY belongs with the index covered-call veterans more than its own family — the compare tool proves it either way.

When Is SOXY's Next Ex-Dividend Date?
SOXY 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 SOXY's actual payment rhythm. Remember: you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
SOXY's Record So Far
SOXY launched in December 2024 as part of YieldMax's Target 12 line and has paid monthly since January 2025. Each declared check above can be read against the even 12% pace the design intends.
The Dial, Not the Lottery
Chip premium is abundant — SOXY's discipline is choosing how much of it to harvest rather than how to find it. Uncapped cousins like CHPY wring the sector for everything; SOXY meters it. SOXY sells only as hard as a 12% annual rate requires, across a focused portfolio of 15-30 semiconductor companies — leaving more of the market's upside in the fund. The throttle costs headline glory: SOXY will never top a yield screenshot, on purpose.
Judging a Target Fund
Grade SOXY on marksmanship: the yearly table shows how close the checks landed to the stated 12% pace.
