Questions people ask about MSR

How much has MSR paid since it launched?
Over the period from its first trade on May 12, 2026 to Oct 28, 2026, MSR paid 7.5% of its starting price in cash distributions, while the price fell 40.5%.
Is MSR ahead of MSTR?
Over the period from its first trade on May 12, 2026 to Oct 28, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, MSR returned −33.4% against −21.3% for MicroStrategy (MSTR), so a holder was behind it by 12.1 points.
How often does MSR pay, and how much?
MSR pays quarterly. The latest distribution annualizes to 15.1% at its price on Oct 28, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
Is the MSR distribution return of capital?
GraniteShares estimates 0% of the distribution paid Jun 5, 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 MSR next pay a distribution?
MSR pays quarterly. The last distribution went ex on Oct 7, 2026 at $0.5449 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 63 days the ex-date falls near Dec 9, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days.
What does MSR cost?
The prospectus expense ratio is 1.07% a year.
How much of MSR’s distribution is return of capital?
GraniteShares’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 0.1% of the distribution paid Jun 5, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Jun 5, 2026 to Jun 5, 2026, the estimate is 0.1%. The annual report for the fiscal year to Jun 30, 2026 puts it at 100.0% of distributions. The year’s notices had estimated 0.1%, so the two were 99.9 points apart. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.

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

The payout bar for MSR, 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.
