What ACQQ Does, Per the Filing
ACQQ launched on August 14, 2026 — the Nasdaq-100 member of ProShares' three-fund autocallable suite (alongside ACSP and ACRT), part of the six-fund August wave that took the category mainstream. Its natural cross-town rival is m+ funds' MPIA, the other Nasdaq-flavored autocall launched the day before — and the incumbent both are chasing is Calamos' CAIQ, the longest-running Nasdaq-dedicated autocall ETF (paying monthly since late 2025).
The strategy: a laddered portfolio of autocallable positions linked to the Nasdaq-100 — fixed coupons while the index holds above its threshold, automatic early redemption on at-or-above checkpoint dates, losses only through a deep barrier in a severe decline. The Nasdaq-100's higher volatility cuts both ways: volatility is the raw material that prices autocall coupons, and it's also what tests barriers in a tech selloff. Full plain-English machinery in our autocallable ETF explainer.
Like its siblings, ACQQ was registered under an earlier "Income Accelerator" name and renamed in a July 2026 supplement. ACQQ has paid once: $0.496296 per share, ex-dividend October 1, 2026, which is about 2% of its NAV that day. One check is a data point, not a yield.
What Nobody Can Know Yet
ACQQ has paid once, so there is a short record rather than a settled one, no real yield, and no evidence of how its strategy behaves across a full cycle. One check cannot be annualised into a yield, and anyone doing it is quoting a projection. Filings also get delayed, renamed, or quietly abandoned; this page's status updates daily either way. From here we chart every payment from its very first one, free.

Frequently Asked Questions
When did ACQQ launch?
It launched Aug 14, 2026. The registration was first seen in SEC records dated Jul 24, 2026; issuers typically launch within months of filing, but filings can also stall. The status box above updates daily, and the launch tracker shows everything else on the runway.
What will ACQQ pay?
It has paid once. The first was $0.496296, ex-dividend Oct 1, 2026. One check is a data point, not a yield, and this page will not annualise it. The strategy is option-income, so distributions would depend on real option premiums once live.
ACQQ vs MPIA — what's the difference between the two Nasdaq autocall ETFs?
Same underlying idea, different builders and blueprints: ACQQ runs ProShares' laddered autocallable strategy on the Nasdaq-100; MPIA tracks a Barclays-built autocallable index with an added growth-participation component. Until both have real payment histories, the practical differences — coupon levels, barrier depths, income steadiness — are on paper only. We'll chart both from their first distributions so the comparison becomes data.
