EIPI
Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, EIPI paid 7.7% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price rose 13.7%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +21.8%. EIPI's own holdings, without the options (from its filed holdings, rebalanced at each filing; latest Nov 2, 2026) returned +25.6% over the same days, so a holder was behind by 3.8 pts. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 6.8%, paid monthly. First Trust estimates that 0% of the distribution paid Oct 30, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
