  {

  {
   "q": "Is XYLD ahead of ACWI?",
   "a": "Over the year to Sep 11, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, XYLD returned +17.9% against +19.1% for All-country world (ACWI), so a holder was behind it by 1.2 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "How often does XYLD pay, and how much?",
   "a": "XYLD pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 9.0% at its price on Sep 11, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ."
  },
  {
   "q": "Is the XYLD distribution return of capital?",
   "a": "Global X estimates 93% of the distribution paid Aug 27, 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 XYLD next pay a distribution?",
   "a": "XYLD pays monthly. The last distribution went ex on Aug 24, 2026 at $0.3109 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 28 days the ex-date falls near Sep 21, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does XYLD cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.60% a year."
