QQQI DRIP: reinvesting vs taking cash
$10,000 in QQQI at $54.22, with the price and the 12-month distribution held at today's level, so the table shows only what reinvesting adds. Taxes are not modelled.
Funds paying out at this rate have often seen their share price fall over time. A falling price lets reinvested distributions buy more shares, but the position can still lose value, so treat these figures as the effect of reinvesting, not as a forecast.
| After | Reinvested: shares | Reinvested: value | Cash: value + payouts | Reinvesting adds |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 year | 213 | $11,504 | $11,409 | $95 |
| 3 years | 281 | $15,225 | $14,228 | $997 |
| 5 years | 372 | $20,149 | $17,047 | $3,102 |

What this calculator assumes
- The starting distribution is the sum of regular distributions per share over the last 12 months. Special or supplemental payouts are left out.
- Income is before taxes, and the share price stays at the latest close unless you change it.
- QQQI's payments are set by what its strategy earned each period, so past distributions are not a forecast. The growth rate starts at zero.

How much do I need to invest in QQQI to make $1,000 a month?

Is QQQI's distribution rate the same as its return?
No. The distribution rate compares cash paid to the share price. Total return also counts the change in the share price, and a fund that pays out a high rate can see its price fall over time, so income alone overstates what an investor kept. Part of a distribution can also be classified as return of capital; the fund's tax notices show how each payment is classified.
