DYLG
Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, DYLG paid 9.2% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price rose 4.7%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +14.8%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 4.0%, paid monthly. Global X estimates that 32% of the distribution paid Sep 24, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
HEMI's own stocks, without the options (from its filed holdings, rebalanced at each filing; latest Jul 31, 2026) returned +4.4% over the same days, so a holder was about even.
