   "q": "Is MSST ahead of SPY?",
   "a": "Over the period from its launch on Nov 18, 2025 to Sep 11, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, MSST returned \u221235.9% against +16.8% for S&P 500 (SPY), used as a default proxy, so a holder was behind it by 52.7 points."
  },
  {
   "q": "How often does MSST pay, and how much?",
   "a": "MSST pays weekly. The latest distribution annualizes to 27.3% at its price on Sep 11, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ."
  },
  {
   "q": "Is the MSST distribution return of capital?",
   "a": "YieldMax estimates 93% of the distribution paid Sep 10, 2026 was return of capital. That is a tax characterization from the fund's own 19a-1 notice, not a measure of erosion."
  },
  {
   "q": "When does MSST next pay a distribution?",
   "a": "MSST pays weekly. The last distribution went ex on Sep 9, 2026 at $0.1464 a share. The issuer has set the next ex-date at Sep 15, 2026 but not the amount."
