Did QDTE's payouts keep up with its price?
Over the past year QDTE paid out 35.61% of its starting price in distributions, while its price changed -16.92%. Reinvesting every payment gave a total return of +24.04%. The share price fell, but the payouts more than made up for it.
Option income funds pay out option premiums and often part of their own assets, so a high yield can come with a falling share price. Total return is the fair measure: it counts both the payouts and the price change. Compare all option income ETFs.

About these numbers
- Calculated by FindETFStock from daily closing prices and ex-dividend amounts reported by Yahoo Finance, starting March 7, 2024.
- "5 years" is measured from the first stored close, about five years back; a fund or stock with a shorter history shows "Since first close" instead.
- Returns are before taxes and assume dividends are reinvested at the ex-date close with no costs.
- Past performance does not predict future results. This is not investment advice; see the financial disclaimer and methodology.
