AIQU Stock — Bank of Montreal
Bank of Montreal (AIQU)
Updated October 16, 2026.
AIQU is a Stock. Total return is -36.5% over the past 0.4 years, 37.5 points behind SPY at 1.0%.
Bank of Montreal issued this exchange-traded note, which seeks to deliver three times the daily performance of the BITA AI Leaders Select Index, an index of large-cap U.S. information technology companies with long positions established through derivatives. The note has no established distribution schedule and carries no expense ratio. It is structured with a maturity date of May 30, 2046, and appeals to investors seeking leveraged exposure to artificial intelligence and technology equities, though the three-times leverage magnifies both gains and losses on a daily basis.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (the posted rate) uses calculation basis unavailable. Issuer rates can use a different denominator and date, including ex-date NAV. Trailing-12-month yield is the sum of split-adjusted cash distributions with ex-dates in the last 12 months, divided by the published price. It lags a recent raise or cut. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss.
