SIOO
Over the period from its first trade on Dec 11, 2025 to Nov 4, 2026, SIOO paid 13.6% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 3.6%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +10.8%. S&P 100 (OEF) returned +10.9% over the same days, so a holder was about even. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 15.4%, paid monthly. VistaShares estimates that 97% of the distribution paid Oct 27, 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 60.9%, paid weekly. YieldMax estimates that 100% of the distribution paid Nov 5, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice).
