How this is computed
N-PORT months: money in is sales plus reinvestments; money out is redemptions. Months summed from daily data: money in adds the days money came in; money out adds the days it went out.
N-PORT months are the filed sales plus reinvestments less redemptions. Later months add up the daily data; the Source column names any missing day.

How much of what it paid out did its total return cover?
That is the share of the 164 income ETFs not writing on a single company sitting at or below QYLG.
One year only, and a ratio of two published numbers: it says nothing about where a distribution came from. Where the fund sits in this set, not a rating. Do not average it with another category's score.
Total return as a share of the cash paid: 104.2% · 65th pct, −271.3% to 2,166.7% across 164.
QYLG top ten by weight, 46.8% of the fund, of its 103 equity positions, from the holdings filed for Jul 31, 2026.
