About each fund
HEMI

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.

Over the 6 months to Nov 4, 2026, HEMI paid 4.4% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 0.4%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +4.0%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 8.6%, paid monthly. Hartford estimates that 99% of the distribution paid Oct 29, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.

TMGN

Over the period from its first trade on Jul 15, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026, TMGN paid 5.4% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 0.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +5.2%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 21.7%, paid monthly. TappAlpha estimates that 100% of the distribution paid Oct 28, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice).
