Earlier this year on Feb. 29, I wrote an article titled, "Don't Be Surprised If Nuveen Raises QQQX's Distribution." And though it took some time for the notoriously slow-acting Nuveen to finally make a move, QQQX finally saw a large +33% distribution increase declared on Dec. 2. That pushed QQQX's current market-yield up to a much more generous +8.5%. And with the fund's NAV up an impressive +28% YTD, why is this fund still trading at a -10.8% discount?
