Every weekly dividend ETF we track gets flagged for price decay — whether its share price has slipped below its inception price. This page isolates only the names with a clean record: zero price decay since launch, pulled live from our database.
Across every list on WeeklyETFs.com, each ETF is tagged with a simple Yes/No flag for Price Decay. That flag answers one specific question: has the fund's share price dropped below where it started at inception? It looks at price only, not at the dividends paid out along the way, which is why we track it as its own column separate from Total Return. Investors sometimes call this "NAV decay," since most of these funds report price relative to net asset value per share, and the two terms point at the same underlying behavior: a shrinking share price over time.
This matters because many weekly high yield ETFs run options-based income strategies — covered calls, synthetic positions, or other derivative overlays — that can produce a large headline yield while still allowing the share price to erode in the background. A fund that's been flagged "No" for Price Decay has, at least so far, avoided that erosion. The list below pulls only those names.

A clean price history is reassuring, but it's a backward-looking snapshot, not a forecast. An ETF can carry a "No" decay flag today and still see its share price slip tomorrow if the underlying holdings sell off, if the options strategy underperforms, or if a large distribution is later reclassified as return of capital. Treat this list as a starting point for research, not a finish line — pair it with the Total Return column above and a look at each fund's own distribution history before drawing conclusions.
There's no single reason a fund avoids price decay, but a few patterns show up often among the names that do:
None of these patterns guarantee a fund stays decay-free going forward — they're simply common threads worth understanding before assuming a "No" flag will hold up indefinitely.
The names on this page can change as new ETFs launch and existing ones get re-flagged. Serious income investors compare this list week over week alongside our full weekly ETF rankings, TopDividendETFs, and MonthlyETFs to spot which funds are holding up and which are starting to slip.
Unlock PRO Features →It means the ETF's share price has not fallen below its inception price, based on the most recent data in our spreadsheet. It looks at price only, separate from dividends paid.
Not necessarily. Total Return includes both price change and distributions, so a fund can show zero price decay and still have a different total return figure once dividends are factored in. Check both columns together.
