Weekly dividend ETFs: which ETFs pay every week

Which ETFs pay dividends every week? In FillMonth's dataset, 61 funds are currently on a weekly distribution schedule. Below: the issuer, the weekday recent ex-dates fell on, and trailing figures.

All weekly-paying ETFs in the dataset

How to read the figures: “TTM total” is the sum of per-share distributions with ex-dates in the trailing 12 months. “TTM ÷ price” and “Latest × freq ÷ price” are simple trailing arithmetic on the same data pull, not forward yields, SEC yields, or promises. * = the fund has less than a full year of distributions in the window, so its TTM total understates a full year. High option-income distributions can include return of capital and often come with falling share prices; distributions alone are not total return.

How weekly distributions work

Weekly-pay ETFs declare a distribution every week. To receive one, you must own shares before the ex-dividend date (with T+1 settlement, buying on the ex-date itself is too late). The cash usually lands at your broker a day or so after the record date. Amounts typically change every week, because most of these funds pay out option premium that rises and falls with volatility.

Weekly payers are almost all option-income funds: they sell call options (or use synthetic strategies) on a single stock, an index, or a basket, and pass the premium along. Many give up much of the upside of the underlying and have seen their share prices fall over time while paying large distributions. A big weekly number is not the same as a big total return.

Funds that switched to weekly

These funds had longer gaps between distributions earlier in the 12-month window and moved to a weekly schedule more recently, so their trailing totals mix two schedules: AIPI, FEPI, GIAX.

How FillMonth handles weekly payers

In the calendar, a weekly payer contributes its latest weekly amount × 52 ÷ 12 to every month. That smooths out months with four vs five ex-dates. Because weekly amounts can swing a lot, treat the estimate as a rough guide.
