ACSP
Over the period from its first trade on Aug 14, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026, ACSP paid 10.4% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 16.9%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned −6.8%. S&P 500 (SPY) returned −1.0% over the same days, so a holder was behind by 5.8 pts. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 17.5%, paid periodically. ProShares estimates that 98% of the distribution paid Nov 6, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
SCEP's own stocks, without the options (from its filed holdings, rebalanced at each filing; latest Jun 30, 2026) returned +2.1% over the same days, so a holder was about even.
Over the 6 months to Nov 4, 2026, SCEP paid 3.5% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 1.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +2.4%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 7.0%, paid monthly. Sterling Capital estimates that 100% of the distribution paid Oct 5, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice).
