Frequently asked questions
- Do I need to own XFLT before the ex-dividend date?
- Yes. You must already hold the shares when trading opens on the ex-dividend date to receive the payment. Buying on the ex-date itself is too late — the seller keeps that dividend. See ex-date vs record date vs payment date for how the dates fit together.

- XAI Floating Rate & Alternative Income Trust has historically paid monthly, across 106 payments since November 2017.
- How much does XFLT pay per share?
- The most recent payment was $0.225 per share, with an ex-date of August 17, 2026. At that rate and frequency the indicated annual dividend is $2.70 a share. This is the cash amount, not a yield — a yield depends on the share price you pay.
