Did they already pay out their target 12% yield for 2021?  RYLD is Russell 2000 based (IQM).  That index had a rough NOV-DEC so that' a possibility.  XYLD is Nasdaq 100 based.

Did some more digging.  Over on https://www.dividendinvestor.com/dividen...tail/ryld/ they are reporting a December 29th announcement date, a December 30th ex-div date, and a January 7th paydate, but that's not on the nasdaq site or on E*Trade.  Unless they have 2 January payments, they are still missing a month because the payment dates have been:

June 2
June 29
Jul 27
Aug 31
Sep 28
Oct 26
Dec 1
Jan 7

Well, if that was the ex date, I made it, so I can still move over to the other one and not miss out.

I am not used to mutual funds that pay monthly.  They are under no obligation to pay every month though that is obviously the attraction. Just wait for the first protracted down market.  That's when the blood curdling screams come from everyone that thinks these are a slam dunk huge income payout.

Added a little QQQ and SPY.
