IAI Dividend Type Payments
Although IAI has no upcoming (meaning, Board-approved and announced) dividends, you can sell covered calls on iShares U.S. Broker-Dealers & Securities Exchanges ETF to create 12 extra dividend type payments per year to boost its yield. Let's look at some recent prices (last updated Wed 4:16 PM ET):

IAI Dividend-Like Income Using Covered Calls
With IAI at 187.56, here's a table showing how big the annual "dividend" (i.e. total annual call premium received) would need to be to attain 3%, 5%, and 10% annual yields. Also shown is the equivalent number of cents/day necessary to achieve each yield:
| Annual Yield | Annual Premium | Cents/Day |
|---|---|---|
| 3% | 5.63 | 1.5 |
| 5% | 9.38 | 2.6 |
| 10% | 18.76 | 5.1 |
So now we need to find out of the money covered calls that pay at least the prescribed cents/day amount of time premium. That will generate income and, because they are out of the money, leave room for some upside potential on the stock. Here are some examples:
