About each fund
MSR

Over the period from its first trade on May 12, 2026 to Nov 12, 2026, MSR paid 9.7% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 45.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned −36.1%. MicroStrategy (MSTR) returned −38.0% over the same days, so a holder was ahead by 1.9 pts. At its price on Nov 12, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 49.3%, paid monthly. GraniteShares estimates that 0% of the distribution paid Jun 5, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
