Questions people ask about MSFY

How much has MSFY paid over the last year?
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, MSFY paid 14.5% of its starting price in cash distributions, while the price fell 23.1%.
Is MSFY ahead of MSFT?
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, MSFY returned −7.1% against −1.2% for Microsoft (MSFT), so a holder was behind it by 5.9 points.
How often does MSFY pay, and how much?
MSFY pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 11.2% at its price on Oct 28, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
Is the MSFY distribution return of capital?
Kurv estimates 76% of the distribution paid Oct 15, 2026 was return of capital. That is a tax characterization from the fund's own 19a-1 notice, not a measure of erosion.
When does MSFY next pay a distribution?
MSFY pays monthly. The last distribution went ex on Oct 14, 2026 at $0.2 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 28 days the ex-date falls near Nov 11, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days.
What does MSFY cost?
The prospectus expense ratio is 0.99% a year.
How much of MSFY’s distribution is return of capital?
Kurv’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 76.0% of the distribution paid Oct 15, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Nov 13, 2025 to Oct 15, 2026, the estimate is 88.2%. The annual report for the fiscal year to May 31, 2026 puts it at 41.8% of distributions. The year’s notices had estimated 89.6%, so the two were 47.8 points apart. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.

ETFIQ, MSFY, income ETFs, data as of Oct 28, 2026. https://etfiq.com/funds/msfy

The payout bar for MSFY, redrawn every trading night.

Free to use with attribution for data ETFIQ computes; issuer data stays under its owner's terms. The underlying files are at Open data.

Price change plus every distribution reinvested on the day it went ex-dividend. This is what you actually ended up with, and the only fair basis for comparing with an index.
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.
Total return minus benchmark total return, in percentage points. A fund can pay 12% a year and still be behind by 10 points if its price fell while the index rose.
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.
The fund owns the stocks and sells call options on them, collecting premium and giving up gains above the strike. Synthetic covered call funds hold options instead of the stocks. 0DTE funds sell options that expire the same day.
A fund that pays a coupon and can be called away early, on dates set when it launched. If it is called, you get your money back with the coupon and the run ends. If it is not, it runs on to the next date.
The level the underlying has to stay above for you to be repaid in full. A barrier is not a buffer. A buffer takes the first slice of a fall for you; a barrier takes none of it once it breaks, so below it you take the whole fall rather than only the part past it.
