High Yield ETFs
Dividend-growth ETFs like SCHD focus on a payout that rises over time. Covered-call ETFs such as JEPI and JEPQ pay larger monthly distributions instead, and a newer group — YieldMax and similar option-strategy funds — runs quoted yields above 20%, usually with bigger swings in both price and payout.

SPYI Charts: Dividend Payments, Yield & Share Price
The SPYI dividend chart shows every payment since 2022 with the yield line overlaid, next to the SPYI price chart over the same stretch. The range pills zoom both charts together.
The red line marks the yield on each payment date: that payment annualized at the payout frequency in
force at the time, divided by SPYI's share price on that day.
Over the measured 4.1 years, SPYI's dividend has grown faster than its share price (3.45% vs 3.20% per year) — that is why the yield line trends up: each payment is larger relative to the price on the day it was paid.
