  },
  {
   "q": "Is WDTE ahead of SPY?",
   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, WDTE returned +17.1% against +17.5% for S&P 500 (SPY), so a holder was about even with it by 0.4 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "How often does WDTE pay, and how much?",
   "a": "WDTE pays weekly. The latest distribution annualizes to 30.1% at its price on Sep 11, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ."
  },
  {
   "q": "Is the WDTE distribution return of capital?",
   "a": "Defiance estimates 100% of the distribution paid Sep 4, 2026 was return of capital. That is a tax characterization from the fund's own 19a-1 notice, not a measure of erosion."
  },
  {
   "q": "When does WDTE next pay a distribution?",
   "a": "WDTE pays weekly. The last distribution went ex on Sep 10, 2026 at $0.168 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 7 days the ex-date falls near Sep 17, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 1 day."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does WDTE cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 1.03% a year."
