NAIL Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

NAIL's approximate ~0% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks Dow Jones US Select Home Construction Index (3x daily) and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a ~0.95% (net) expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; NAIL 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 Direxion.

How does the NAIL dividend work?

NAIL holds the companies in Dow Jones US Select Home Construction Index (3x daily), collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its ~0.95% (net) fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.

NAIL is the Direxion Daily Homebuilders & Supplies Bull 3X Shares, targeting 300% of the daily performance of the Dow Jones US Select Home Construction Index at roughly a 0.95% net expense ratio. It expresses that homebuilder exposure through swaps and futures, and the leverage resets every day, which makes it a tactical instrument tied to short-term moves in the housing-construction sector rather than a buy-and-hold equivalent of the 1x ITB.

How does NAIL's dividend yield compare?

Approximate yield: ~0% (mid-2026).
What drives it: the payout of the underlying Dow Jones US Select Home Construction Index (3x daily) holdings.
Fee drag: the ~0.95% (net) expense ratio is deducted before you receive distributions.
For more income: dedicated dividend or income ETFs target higher yield, with their own trade-offs.
