- Status: began trading August 13, 2026 — and as of August 27, 2026, zero distributions declared. Funds of this design typically declare their first 2–6 weeks after launch; this page flips to a live chart the day a payment exists.
- The tape: The numbers that exist so far: began trading August 13, 2026 at Horizon's standard structure, 14 days without a declaration as of August 27, 2026, and a 2–6 week typical first-declaration window that runs through roughly September 24, 2026 — dates this page will outlive.
- What it is: the Horizon High Income ETF — dividend-paying U.S. large-cap stocks with index call options sold on top, a JEPI-style design from a 27-fund issuer.
- Listed: August 13, 2026 on Cboe BZX — spotted by our market-wide radar the morning after, the first entry in our launch log.
- What it is: an actively managed fund of dividend-paying U.S. large-cap stocks — screened for high profitability and stable earnings — that sells call options on broad equity indexes to boost income.
- Expense ratio: 0.70%.
- The familiar recipe: quality large-caps plus index call-selling is the same general architecture as JEPI and GPIX — the moderate-yield, lower-drama end of the income spectrum.
- Payments so far: none — the fund hasn't declared its first distribution yet. That's what this page is watching.
Until the first check posts, any yield number you hear for YLDY is a target or a guess — there is no track record to quote.
This chart populates from live data, starting with YLDY's first-ever distribution — no waiting for other sites to catch up.

| Recent Ex-Dividend Dates | Distribution / Share |
|---|
"Next expected" is estimated from YLDY'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.
Because the first few distributions are the fund showing its hand. A new option-income ETF's advertised strategy tells you the plan; the first checks tell you the execution — how much premium the managers actually harvest, how steady the amounts are, and what rhythm the fund settles into. Investors who own shares before the first ex-dividend date collect check #1.
The natural yardsticks once data arrives: JEPI (the giant incumbent of the quality-stocks-plus-index-calls design) and GPIX (Goldman's flexible-coverage take). Both records are already charted on this site, ready for the comparison.

When Is YLDY's First Ex-Dividend Date?
Unannounced. Option-income funds typically declare their first distribution within their first weeks to months of trading, but nothing is real until the fund announces it. This page reads live payment data, so the first ex-dividend date and amount will appear in the schedule box above as soon as they post — and remember, you must own shares before the ex-dividend date to receive that payout.
What the First Few Checks Will Reveal
Three things no filing can promise: the actual payout level (is "high income" 7% or 10%?), the payment rhythm the fund settles into, and how steady the amounts are from check to check. YLDY's strategy — dividend-paying large-caps with index call-selling layered on top — has produced famously steady payers (JEPI) when executed well. Whether Horizon's version executes is exactly what this chart will show, one payment at a time.
Where YLDY Fits
On paper: the moderate-yield, lower-drama end of the income aisle — broad quality stocks and index options, not the ultra-high-yield single-stock world. Horizon Funds is an advisor-platform trust, so YLDY may show up in managed portfolios before it shows up in Reddit threads. Its launch story — from SEC paper trail to first trade — is on the YLDY launch page, and everything else on the runway is on the Fund Launch Tracker.
