Pacer Metarus Nasdaq 100 Dividend Multiplier 600 ETF tracks an index with two components: the Nasdaq-100 Index and long positions in annual futures contracts on dividends paid by those same companies, seeking to amplify dividend exposure while maintaining equity market participation. The fund distributes monthly and carries a modest current distribution rate with an expense ratio of 0.60%. It appeals to income-focused investors seeking enhanced dividend exposure to large-cap growth and technology companies, though the use of dividend futures adds complexity and leverage-like characteristics.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (2.01%) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as “Distribution Rate” on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield (3.64%) is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. We show a 30-day SEC yield when the fund publishes one. Schwab and other issuers may report a TTM distribution yield or SEC yield on a different date — all can be valid; they are not interchangeable. Fund total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is what the fund did, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of August 19, 2026.

QSIX risks and drawbacks
QSIX's current distribution rate is moderate, not a high-yield payout — the strategy is dividend quality more than maximum income. The deepest 1-year drawdown on record here is 11.1%.
Who may consider QSIX — and who may not
QSIX may suit someone looking for a high Distribution Safety Score, moderate current income with a quality tilt. It is a weaker fit for investors hunting double-digit covered-call yields. This is educational context, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
