AIQ Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Short answer
AIQ's approximate ~0.2% yield (as of early 2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Indxx Artificial Intelligence & Big Data and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.68% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; AIQ 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 Global X.
How does the AIQ dividend work?
AIQ holds the companies in Indxx Artificial Intelligence & Big Data, collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 0.68% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.
