How Many UDI Shares for $500 or $1,000 a Month?
At $0.88 a share a year, $500 a month takes about 6,850 UDI shares, about $257,218 at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $37.55. $1,000 a month takes about 13,699 shares, about $514,397. Before taxes, and only while the rate holds.
USCF Dividend Income ETF (UDI) pays $0.073 a share monthly, $0.88 a year, a 2.33% run-rate yield at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $37.55. A special dividend of $0.193 came on top in the last year; specials are paid case by case, so they never count in the rate or the yield here. It has made 51 distribution payments since 2022.
At today’s rate of $0.073 monthly and the last close of $37.55, this is what UDI pays before taxes, if the rate stays where it is:
| You hold | Each payment | Per month (avg) | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 share | $0.073 | $0.07 | $0.88 |
| 100 shares | $7.30 | $7.30 | $87.60 |
| $10,000 invested (266.3 shares) | $19.44 | $19.44 | $233.29 |
| 6,850 shares ($500/mo) | $500.05 | $500.05 | $6,000.60 |
| 13,699 shares ($1,000/mo) | $1,000.03 | $1,000.03 | $12,000.32 |
With DRIP on, every payment buys more shares instead of landing as cash. 100 UDI shares reinvest into 0.19 new shares each payment, about 2.4 new shares a year at today’s price and rate, and each new share collects the next payment too. To DRIP one whole new share every payment you need about 515 shares. A rising payout speeds that up; a falling share price buys more shares per payment, but each is worth less. See the snowball over 10 to 30 years with UDI’s own history in the UDI DRIP calculator.
The payout is not the return. In the 12 months to Nov 13, 2026, UDI paid $0.87 a share and its share price went from $31.34 to $37.55, so total return covered every dollar paid.

UDI Dividend Yield Today vs Its 5-Year Range
- UDI yields 2.33% today, at the Nov 13, 2026 close of $37.55.
- Its own 4-year median is 2.52%, so today’s yield is near its usual level.
- No steady norm: its payout changed too much in 3 years to read a steady norm. So this reads today’s yield against its own 4-year history as it is.
Where today ranks in its own history is in the paid report
How it works. Each month-end over the last 4 years gives one yield: the regular payment then, times payments a year, over that day’s close. Specials are left out. 50 means today’s yield sits right at its usual level. A lower score means the yield is below its usual level, so the price is high against the payout. A higher score means the yield is above its usual level. On price alone a payer stays between 15 and 85. Steady raisers get a few points back. It reads the past, not the future.
When Is UDI’s Next Distribution? Ex-Date and Pay Date After September 2026

- Ex-dates: about every 30 days (monthly)
- Payment: usually about 2 days after the ex-date

UDI pays monthly, 12 times a year. The ex-date comes about every 30 days, and the cash usually lands about 2 days later.
UDI vs Similar Dividend Funds (TLTI, ACYS...)
Against the 10 dividend funds in Asset Management - Income closest to UDI in fund size, UDI’s 2.33% run-rate yield is below the group’s middle yield of 5.24%. A higher yield than the group is not a bonus by itself: in income funds it often comes with a faster-falling share price, so read it next to the NAV trend and the rating.
