   "a": "Over the year to Sep 18, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, MLPD returned +12.0% against +47.8% for Energy sector (XLE), used as the energy proxy, so a holder was behind it by 35.8 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "How often does MLPD pay, and how much?",
   "a": "MLPD pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 12.0% at its price on Sep 18, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ."
  },
  {
   "q": "Is the MLPD distribution return of capital?",
   "a": "Global X estimates 0% of the distribution paid Aug 27, 2026 was return of capital. That is a tax characterization from the fund's own 19a-1 notice, not a measure of erosion."
  },
  {
   "q": "What does MLPD cost?",
   "a": "The prospectus expense ratio is 0.60% a year."
