CLOU Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

CLOU's approximate ~0.3% (minimal) yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index 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; CLOU 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 CLOU dividend work?

CLOU holds the companies in Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index, 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.

CLOU tracks the Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index, holding roughly 35 to 40 companies that generate revenue from cloud services, software-as-a-service, and cloud infrastructure. The fee is 0.68%. Versus First Trust Cloud Computing ETF (SKYY), CLOU's key difference is its tilt toward pure-play SaaS and mid-cap software rather than mega-cap platform companies.

How does CLOU's dividend yield compare?

Approximate yield: ~0.3% (minimal) (mid-2026).
What drives it: the payout of the underlying Indxx Global Cloud Computing Index holdings.
Fee drag: the 0.68% 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 CLOU dividend

The bottom line: at an approximate ~0.3% (minimal) yield, CLOU is a growth-first, low-yield fund.
