No 1-year comparison: it had filed no holdings by Nov 12, 2025, the year's first day. KYLD's own holdings, without the options (from its filed holdings, rebalanced at each filing; latest Aug 31, 2026) returned −17.6% over the same days, so a holder was ahead by 5.6 pts.
Over the 6 months to Nov 12, 2026, KYLD paid 11.9% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 22.5%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned −12.0%. At its price on Nov 12, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 30.6%, paid weekly. Kurv estimates that 100% 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.
