About each fund
KQQQ

Over the year to Nov 12, 2026, KQQQ paid 15.0% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 10.6%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +4.6%. KQQQ's own holdings, without the options (from its filed holdings, rebalanced at each filing; latest Aug 31, 2026) returned +4.9% over the same days, so a holder was about even. At its price on Nov 12, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 15.9%, paid monthly. Kurv estimates that 99% of the distribution paid Oct 29, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice).
