DIVO Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect
Last updated August 2026
Short answer
DIVO's approximate 2.26% yield (as of July 2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund, about $226 a year on a $10,000 position before tax. It tracks None (actively managed) and passes through the income its holdings generate, usually quarterly, net of the 0.56% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; DIVO 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 Amplify ETFs.
How does the DIVO dividend work?
DIVO holds what is in None (actively managed), collects the income those holdings generate, and distributes it to shareholders on the schedule the fund sets, most often quarterly, net of its 0.56% fee. The yield you see is trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change: a falling price raises the quoted yield without a single extra dollar being paid out.
Actively managed by Capital Wealth Planning, DIVO holds a concentrated set of high-quality large-cap companies with a history of dividend growth and writes covered calls on individual positions to generate additional income. The stated yield of 2.26% reflects the equity dividends; option premiums are distributed on top, which is why DIVO's total monthly payout runs higher than the equity yield alone. The covered-call overlay caps some upside in exchange for that income.
What DIVO's dividend pays on a real position
- Approximate yield: 2.26% (July 2026).
- Income on $10,000: roughly $226 a year before tax, or about $2,260 on $100,000.
- Versus the market: the S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so DIVO pays more.
- Schedule: set by the fund, most often quarterly. Amplify ETFs publishes the exact ex-dividend and pay dates.
- Fee: the 0.56% expense ratio comes out before you receive anything, so the yield above is already net of it.
How DIVO distributions are taxed
A large share of DIVO's distributions are usually qualified dividends, taxed at long-term capital-gains rates rather than as ordinary income, provided the holding-period tests are met by both the fund and you. Some portion can still be ordinary, and REIT or option-income components generally are. Amplify ETFs's annual 1099 shows the actual split. Inside an IRA, Roth, or 401(k) none of it applies while the money stays in the account. Full detail is in how dividends are taxed. This is not tax advice.

The bottom line on the DIVO dividend
The bottom line: at an approximate 2.26% yield, DIVO is a growth-first, low-yield fund. If income is your goal, dedicated dividend funds pay more; DIVO is the wrong tool for yield and the right one for total-return None (actively managed) 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 Amplify ETFs.

FAQ
What is DIVO's dividend yield?
+
Approximately 2.26% as of July 2026. On a $10,000 position that is roughly $226 of distributions a year before tax. The S&P 500 yields around 1.2%, so DIVO pays meaningfully more than the broad market. Yield is trailing distributions divided by price, so it moves when either changes; verify the current figure on Amplify ETFs's fund page.
How often does DIVO pay a dividend?
+
Equity ETFs like DIVO most often distribute quarterly, though the schedule is set by the fund, not by a rule, and some funds pay monthly, semi-annually, or annually. Amplify ETFs publishes DIVO's distribution calendar with the exact ex-dividend and pay dates; that is the authoritative source. The mechanic that matters either way: you have to own the shares before the ex-dividend date to receive a given distribution.
Does DIVO pay monthly dividends?
+
Probably not. DIVO is an equity fund, and equity ETFs generally distribute quarterly; monthly distributions are the norm for bond, Treasury, and option-income funds instead. Check Amplify ETFs's distribution calendar for DIVO's actual schedule, and see our roundup of the best ETFs for monthly income if the cadence is what you are after.
Where does DIVO's dividend come from?
+
DIVO tracks None (actively managed) and holds names such as CAT, AAPL, MSFT, JPM, GS. The fund collects the income those holdings generate and passes it through to you. The 0.56% expense ratio is taken out along the way, so the yield you see is already net of the fee: you do not pay it separately.
When is DIVO's ex-dividend date?
+
Amplify ETFs sets and publishes it on DIVO's fund page, and it moves with each distribution, so we do not quote a fixed date here. What it means is the cutoff: buy on or after the ex-dividend date and the seller keeps that distribution. Buying just before the ex-date to capture a payment is not free money, because the fund's price typically drops by roughly the distribution amount when it goes ex.
Can I reinvest DIVO dividends?
+
Yes. Most brokers let you turn on automatic dividend reinvestment (a DRIP) so DIVO distributions buy more shares, often fractional ones, without you doing anything. It compounds the position over time. It does not change the tax treatment: in a taxable account the distribution is taxable in the year it is paid, whether you reinvest it or take the cash.
Is DIVO a good choice for dividend income?
+
Walnut is informational, not investment advice. DIVO yields roughly 2.26%, which is moderate: real income, but below what dedicated income funds target. At that rate, $100,000 in DIVO generates roughly $2,260 a year before tax. If income is the goal, dedicated dividend and income ETFs target more; DIVO is built for total return. See the best dividend ETFs roundup to compare.
Are DIVO dividends qualified?
+
Usually a large share of them are. Dividends passed through from US companies are qualified, and so taxed at long-term capital-gains rates, when the fund and you both meet the holding-period tests. Some portion can still be ordinary income, and option-income and REIT distributions generally are. Amplify ETFs's annual 1099 shows the actual split. In an IRA or Roth the distinction does not matter. This is not tax advice.
