The Invesco NASDAQ 100 Dividend Achievers ETF (QQQI) is an exchange-traded fund designed to provide exposure to dividend-paying companies within the NASDAQ 100 Index. Unlike its more famous counterpart, QQQ, which focuses purely on growth, QQQI specifically targets companies that have increased their dividends for at least 10 consecutive years. This makes it an attractive option for investors seeking both growth potential and a steady stream of income.
How QQQI Dividends Work
QQQI invests in a portfolio of dividend-paying stocks. The dividends you receive as a QQQI shareholder are essentially a pass-through of the dividends paid by the underlying companies in the ETF's portfolio, minus the fund's expense ratio. QQQI typically distributes dividends on a quarterly basis, though the exact schedule and amount can vary.
The dividend yield of QQQI is not fixed; it fluctuates based on several factors:
- Performance of Underlying Companies: If the companies within the NASDAQ 100 Dividend Achievers Index increase or decrease their dividend payouts, QQQI's overall dividend income will be affected.
- QQQI's Share Price: The dividend yield is calculated as the annual dividend per share divided by the current share price. If the share price rises while the dividend amount stays the same, the yield will decrease, and vice-versa.
- Fund Management: While QQQI is passively managed to track an index, the fund's operational costs (expense ratio) will slightly reduce the net dividends passed on to investors.
Using the QQQI Dividend Calculator
Our QQQI Dividend Calculator helps you estimate your potential dividend income based on your investment. Here's how to use it:
- Number of QQQI Shares: Enter the total number of QQQI shares you own or plan to purchase. For example, if you own 250 shares, input '250'.
- Current QQQI Share Price (USD): Input the current market price of one QQQI share. You can find this on financial news websites or your brokerage platform. For instance, if one share costs $30.50, enter '30.50'.
- Estimated Annual Dividend Yield (%): This is a crucial input. Find the current or historical annual dividend yield for QQQI. This is usually expressed as a percentage. For example, if the yield is 1.5%, enter '1.5'. Remember that past yield does not guarantee future results.
- Dividend Payout Frequency: Select how you'd like to see your dividends broken down – Annually, Quarterly (most common for QQQI), or Monthly.
After entering these details, click "Calculate Dividends" to see your estimated annual, and optionally quarterly or monthly, dividend income.
Example Calculation
Let's say you own 200 QQQI shares, the current share price is $31.00, and the estimated annual dividend yield is 1.6%. You want to see your quarterly income.
- Number of QQQI Shares: 200
- Current QQQI Share Price: $31.00
- Estimated Annual Dividend Yield: 1.6%
- Dividend Payout Frequency: Quarterly
The calculator would perform the following steps:
- Annual Dividend Per Share: $31.00 * (1.6 / 100) = $0.496
- Total Annual Dividend: 200 shares * $0.496/share = $99.20
- Total Quarterly Dividend: $99.20 / 4 = $24.80
Your estimated annual dividend income would be $99.20, and your estimated quarterly dividend income would be $24.80.
Important Considerations
This calculator provides an estimate. Actual dividend payments can vary due to changes in the underlying companies' performance, QQQI's share price fluctuations, and market conditions. Always conduct thorough research and consider consulting a financial advisor before making investment decisions.
