JEPQ fund facts
As published by JPMorgan for 5 November 2026, with the change since 20 Oct 2026.
Why the distribution rate and the SEC yield are so different
They measure different things. The distribution rate annualises the latest payout against the share price. The SEC 30-day yield is a standard formula that counts only the fund's net investment income, such as dividends and interest, after expenses. Option premium is not included in it, so for option-income funds the two figures are usually far apart.
