Numbers are net: money in less money out. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for LAPR, back to Feb 2024, is in its flows file.

How much of what it paid out did its total return cover?
That is the share of the 164 income ETFs not writing on a single company sitting at or below LAPR.
One year only, and a ratio of two published numbers: it says nothing about where a distribution came from. Where the fund sits in this set, not a rating. Do not average it with another category's score.
Total return as a share of the cash paid: 100.0% · 58th pct, −271.3% to 2,166.7% across 164.

- Is LAPR ahead of VOO?
- Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, LAPR returned +6.0% against +13.7% for Vanguard S&P 500 ETF (VOO), so a holder was behind it by 7.7 points.
- How often does LAPR pay, and how much?
- LAPR pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 6.7% at its price on Oct 28, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
- Is the LAPR distribution return of capital?
- Innovator estimates 55% of the distribution paid Oct 2, 2026 was return of capital. That is a tax characterization from the fund's own 19a-1 notice, not a measure of erosion.

- What does LAPR cost?
- The prospectus expense ratio is 0.79% a year.
- How much of LAPR’s distribution is return of capital?
- Innovator’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 55.0% of the distribution paid Oct 2, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Nov 3, 2025 to Oct 2, 2026, the estimate is 51.2%. The annual report for the fiscal year to Oct 31, 2025 puts it at 17.9% of distributions. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.
