This material must be preceded or accompanied by a current prospectus. Investors should read it carefully before investing or sending money.
Distribution Rate is the annualized payout, expressed as a percentage of NAV, that an investor would receive, assuming that the latest monthly distribution remained the same over the next twelve (12) months. Distribution Rate may include return of capital, ordinary dividends, or capital gain. Distributions may coincide with a decline in NAV. The Distribution Rate is representative of a single distribution and does not indicate total return. Future distributions may differ significantly from the latest distribution and are not guaranteed. For the Fund’s fiscal year to date, please refer here for the SEC 19a Notice with a breakdown of each monthly distribution. Please note the Fund’s distributions include return of capital. For the purposes of the SEC 19a Notice, options income is excluded from the calculation of net investment income.
For questions about KLIP distributions, please refer to the FAQ.
30-day SEC Yield is a standardized yield calculation used to compare the yield of mutual funds, exchange-traded funds (ETFs), and other investment options. It represents the yield an investor would receive in the form of interest or dividends over the course of a 30-day period, assuming that dividends and interest are reinvested.

The ETF’s 30 Day Median Bid-Ask Spread is calculated by identifying the ETF’s national best bid and national best offer ("NBBO") as of the end of each 10 second interval during each trading day of the last 30 calendar days and dividing the difference between each such bid and offer by the midpoint of the NBBO. The median of those values is identified and that value is expressed as a percentage rounded to the nearest hundredth. |
