What ACSP Does, Per the Filing

ACSP launched on August 14, 2026 on Nasdaq — one of three funds in ProShares' autocallable-income suite (with ACQQ on the Nasdaq-100 and ACRT on the Russell 2000), landing just one day after m+ funds' MPDY, MPIA, and MPIM. Six autocallable ETFs in two days — a category going mainstream, a year after Calamos quietly pioneered it with CAIE and CAIQ and gathered over $1.6 billion proving it works.

Per ProShares, ACSP tracks a laddered autocallable strategy linked to the S&P 500: a rolling portfolio of autocallable positions with staggered maturities, each paying fixed coupons while the index stays above its threshold, auto-redeeming when the index is at or above its start on checkpoint dates, and absorbing losses only through a deep barrier in a severe decline. The ladder is the point — staggered start dates aim for a more consistent income stream than any single autocallable position could deliver. The machinery, in plain English, is in our autocallable ETF explainer.

Worth knowing: these three funds were registered earlier under "Income Accelerator" names and renamed to "Autocallable Income" in a July 2026 supplement — the paperwork was moving weeks before launch day. ACSP has paid once: $2.288127 per share, ex-dividend October 1, 2026. That single check is more than four times what its Nasdaq-100 sibling ACQQ paid the same day, out of the same strategy family at the same fee, and one month cannot say whether it repeats.

What Nobody Can Know Yet

ACSP 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 ACSP 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 ACSP pay?

It has paid once. The first was $2.288127, 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.

How is ACSP different from covered-call S&P 500 funds like SPYI or GPIX?

Opposite income engines. Covered-call funds own stocks and sell upside for premium — they cap their best months and bleed in long declines. ACSP's autocallable ladder earns fixed coupons for carrying deep-crash risk — it keeps paying through flat or mildly falling markets and takes losses only if the S&P falls through a distant barrier, where the pain arrives suddenly. Neither is free income; they charge different tolls.
