- Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, OVT paid 7.5% of its starting price in cash distributions, while the price fell 3.4%.
- Is OVT ahead of VCSH?
- Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, OVT returned +4.1% against +2.1% for Vanguard Short-Term Corporate Bond ETF (VCSH), so a holder was ahead of it by 2.0 points.
- How often does OVT pay, and how much?
- OVT pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 6.5% at its price on Nov 4, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
- Is the OVT distribution return of capital?
- Overlay Shares estimates 82% of the distribution paid Oct 29, 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 OVT next pay a distribution?
- OVT pays monthly. The last distribution went ex on Oct 28, 2026 at $0.1161 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 30 days the ex-date falls near Nov 27, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days.
- What does OVT cost?
- The prospectus expense ratio is 0.79% a year.
- How much of OVT’s distribution is return of capital?
- Overlay Shares’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 82.0% of the distribution paid Oct 29, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Dec 24, 2025 to Oct 29, 2026, the estimate is 93.4%. The annual report for the fiscal year to Aug 31, 2025 puts it at 40.6% of distributions. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.

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.
