AMZY distribution history (last 12 months)

Every amount links to its source and was cross-checked against stockanalysis.com. ROC % starts as the issuer’s estimate and switches to 19a-1 confirmed once the fund’s Section 19(a) notice is published. Recently, each distribution was announced 1 day(s) before its ex-date, so the table below can change within the week. 2 row(s) are marked pending verification: the sources disagree and we do not publish a number until they agree.

What AMZY is

In the issuer’s words: “The YieldMax AMZN Option Income Strategy ETF (AMZY) is an actively managed ETF designed to generate weekly income by selling call spreads on Amazon.com Inc (AMZN).” (fund page)

Option income ETFs like AMZY pay large, variable distributions. A big share of the payout is often classified as return of capital, which is not profit: it hands back part of your own money and lowers your cost basis. That is why the distribution rate alone says little about what you actually earn. Read how we compute ROC % and total return before comparing funds.
