About each fund
TMGN

Over the period from its first trade on Jul 15, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026, TMGN paid 5.4% of its starting value in cash distributions while its price fell 0.1%. With every distribution reinvested, the fund returned +5.2%. At its price on Nov 4, 2026 the latest distribution annualizes to 21.7%, paid monthly. TappAlpha estimates that 100% of the distribution paid Oct 28, 2026 was a return of capital (its 19a-1 notice). That is a tax label, not a measure of erosion.
