ACII Innovator Index Autocallable Income Strategy ETF
Option income on SPY, paying monthly
Since its launch on May 28, 2026, ACII paid 3.0% in cash and still finished 0.6 points behind SPY.
Key facts
What a holder got
Over the year to Sep 11, 2026, ACII returned +1.0% with distributions reinvested and S&P 500 (SPY), used as a default proxy returned +1.5%, so a holder came out behind it by 0.6 points. The lighter segment is the 3.0% that arrived as cash rather than as price.

The words on this page
- Total return
- What a holder actually ended up with: price change plus every distribution, reinvested. The only figure that answers whether you came out ahead.
- Cash paid
- Distributions over the window as a share of what the fund cost at the start. A measure of cash delivered, not of return: a fund can pay a great deal and still lose money.
- Ahead or behind
- The fund’s total return minus the benchmark’s over exactly the same days, in percentage points. Both sides reinvest.
- Return of capital
- The issuer’s own estimate, in a Rule 19a-1 notice, of how much of a distribution was your own money returned. An estimate and a tax characterization, not a measure of erosion.
- Covered call
- Selling call options on shares the fund holds. It collects a premium and gives up the gains above the strike, which is why these funds pay well and lag a rising market.
