TSMY Dividend History

• The record: 64 distributions from October 3, 2024 to September 24, 2026. It paid monthly for the first 15, then switched to weekly in October 2025.
• Trailing twelve months: $8.389 per share across 51 payments, against $8.651 across 13 in the twelve months before — down 3.0%. The totals compare; the individual checks do not, because one year is monthly and the other weekly.
• The unusual part: the share price went $15.30 to $15.50 over that year, up 1.3%. Of 52 YieldMax funds with a full year of price history, only six finished higher — and this is one of them.
• But most of it is capital coming back: return of capital has averaged 64.2% of each distribution across the 56 payments YieldMax discloses it for, ranging from 0% to 100%. The September 23 payment was 88.02% return of capital.
• Gross expense ratio 1.01%, per YieldMax. Inception was August 20, 2024, on NYSE Arca.

YieldMax quotes a 30.32% distribution rate as of September 23, 2026. That is the most recent weekly payment annualised, not a promise and not a return — the payment record above is what actually happened, and it is the thing worth reading instead.

Each bar is one distribution. The tall early bars are the monthly era and the dense later ones are weekly, so the drop in bar height around October 2025 is a change of schedule, not a cut.

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 TSMY'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 usual complaint about single-stock option-income funds is that the checks arrive while the share price quietly sinks, so the income is partly your own capital handed back. Across this family that complaint is well earned: of the 52 YieldMax funds with a full year of price history, 46 finished the year lower.

TSMY is one of the six that did not. Its share price went from $15.30 to $15.50 over the past year, up 1.3%, while it paid $8.389 per share. That is the combination the category is supposed to deliver and usually does not.

Two things stop that being a recommendation. The payouts still fell 3.0% year over year, so the income side softened even as the price held. And return of capital still averaged 64.2% of each distribution, which means a large share of what arrived was your own money coming back rather than income the fund earned — the September 23 payment was 88% return of capital. A flat price with heavy return of capital is a better outcome than a falling one, not a different kind of product.
