First Trust NASDAQ Clean Edge Green Energy Index Fund is listed as a quarterly payer, though its record is irregular. Its most recent distribution was $0.01 per share, with an [ex-date](/instructions/learning/ex-dividend-date) of March 26, 2026 and a pay date of March 31, 2026. Over the trailing twelve months, the fund paid $0.05 per share, a [yield](/instructions/learning/dividend-yield) of 0.10% at a share price of $50.77.

The amounts are small and vary widely. In the table they ranged from $0.01 to $0.18, the high being in June 2024. Several quarters have no distribution listed: in 2021 only a June payment appears, and none is listed for March 2022 or March 2024. Calendar years with four payments added up to $0.21 in 2020, $0.32 in 2023 and $0.11 in 2025. The source does not show a growth streak.

No distribution with an ex-date after March 26, 2026 is listed, so the June and September 2026 quarters show no payment. Ex-dates have usually fallen in the last week of March, June and September and in mid-to-late December, with payment at the end of that month. In 2024 and 2025, the December ex-dates were December 13 and December 12.
