About each fund
ACYQ

Over the period from its first trade on Jun 24, 2026 to Nov 12, 2026, ACYQ paid 5.7% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 5.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +0.3%. At its price on Nov 12, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 23.3%, paid monthly. First Trust estimates that 35% of the distribution paid Nov 3, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
