SKYY Dividend: Yield, Schedule, and What to Expect

Last updated July 2026

Short answer

SKYY's approximate ~0.1% yield (as of mid-2026) makes it a growth-first, low-yield fund. It tracks ISE CTA Cloud Computing Index and passes through the dividends of its holdings, typically quarterly, minus a 0.60% expense ratio. If income is your goal, look to dedicated dividend funds for more; SKYY 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 First Trust Advisors.

How does the SKYY dividend work?

SKYY holds the companies in ISE CTA Cloud Computing Index, collects the dividends they pay, and distributes them to shareholders (usually quarterly), net of its 0.60% fee. The yield you see is the trailing distributions divided by price, so it drifts as both change.

SKYY tracks the ISE CTA Cloud Computing Index, a basket of companies materially involved in the cloud computing business across infrastructure, platform, and software layers. It charges 0.60 percent and uses a tiered weighting that caps the largest holdings near 4 percent, so unlike a market-cap tech fund it does not let a handful of megacaps run the portfolio.

How does SKYY's dividend yield compare?

Approximate yield: ~0.1% (mid-2026).
What drives it: the payout of the underlying ISE CTA Cloud Computing Index holdings.
Fee drag: the 0.60% 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 SKYY dividend

The bottom line: at an approximate ~0.1% yield, SKYY is a growth-first, low-yield fund.

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 First Trust Advisors.
