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.

QQQ Dividend Payments, Yield & Share Price
Below are all of QQQ's dividend payments since 2003 with the yield line overlaid, next to QQQ's share-price history 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 QQQ's share price on that day.
Over the measured 10 years, QQQ's share price has grown faster than its dividend (19.81% vs 10.71% per year) — that is why the yield line tends to drift down even in stretches where the dollar payments hold steady.
