Weighted evenly, those two positions are what the score combines, across the 61 income ETFs writing on a single company. Neither spread above is the score: a fund can sit further right on one and score lower. A position in this set, not a rating: it moves when the set moves, and it is not a figure to average against another desk's.

When GOOP pays

GOOP pays monthly. The last distribution was $0.45 a share, which went ex on Aug 19, 2026, with payment about 2 days later. The next has not been declared. On its own cadence of about 28 days the ex-date falls near Sep 16, 2026; that date is an ETFIQ projection, not the issuer’s.

In plain words

Since it launched on Nov 6, 2023, GOOP has returned +107.3% with distributions reinvested, against +162.4% for Alphabet (GOOGL), and has paid out 50.1% of its starting value in cash along the way. It pays monthly, and at its current price the latest distribution annualizes to 15.2%. Kurv estimates that 81% of the distribution paid Aug 20, 2026 was a return of capital. That is the issuer’s own Rule 19a-1 estimate and a tax characterization, made before the fund year closes: it says the payment included money the fund gave back rather than earned, not that the fund is eroding.

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.
