About each fund
BIGY

Over the year to Nov 12, 2026, BIGY paid 12.2% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 6.2%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +6.2%.

YieldMax estimates that 29% of the distribution paid Nov 5, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
