AGQ Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated July 2026
Short answer
AGQ's approximate 0.00% yield (as of July 2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Bloomberg Silver Subindex (2x daily) and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 1.29% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; AGQ is built for total return, not yield. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Yield is a recent snapshot, not a promise; verify the current figure with ProShares.
How does the AGQ dividend work?
AGQ holds the companies in Bloomberg Silver Subindex (2x daily), collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 1.29% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.
Seeks daily investment results, before fees and expenses, equal to two times (2x) the daily performance of silver as measured by the Bloomberg Silver Subindex. It does not hold physical silver; exposure is obtained through swaps and futures contracts. Because the fund rebalances to its 2x target every day, returns compound over multi-day periods and can diverge substantially from twice silver's cumulative move, especially in volatile markets. A high 1.29% expense ratio and the mechanics of daily leverage make it a short-term trading tool rather than a long-term holding.
How does AGQ's dividend yield compare?
- Approximate yield: 0.00% (July 2026).
- What drives it: the payout of the underlying Bloomberg Silver Subindex (2x daily) holdings.
- Fee drag: the 1.29% expense ratio is deducted before you receive distributions.
- For more income: dedicated dividend or income ETFs target higher yield, with their own trade-offs.

The bottom line on the AGQ dividend
The bottom line: at an approximate 0.00% yield, AGQ is a growth-first, low-yield fund. If income is your goal, dedicated dividend funds pay more; AGQ is the wrong tool for yield and the right one for total-return Bloomberg Silver Subindex (2x daily) exposure. If total return is the goal, the yield matters less than cost and what it holds. Treat the figure as a moving snapshot, not a fixed rate, and verify the current yield with ProShares.
