RECI
Over the period from its first trade on Jul 14, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026, RECI paid 1.5% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price rose 2.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +3.7%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 8.0%, paid monthly. Columbia estimates that 78% of the distribution paid Oct 5, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.

At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 3.2%, paid monthly.
