Weighted evenly, those two positions are what the score combines, across the 70 income ETFs writing on a single company. Neither spread above is the score: a fund can sit further right on one and score lower.

A position in this set, not a rating: it moves when the set moves, and it is not a figure to average against another desk's.

In plain words

Since it launched on Sep 9, 2025, RDYY has returned −33.0% with distributions reinvested, against −38.4% for Reddit (RDDT), and has paid out 43.5% of its starting value in cash along the way. It pays weekly, and at its current price the latest distribution annualizes to 54.6%. YieldMax estimates that 0% of the distribution paid Oct 2, 2026 was a return of capital. That is the issuer’s own Rule 19a-1 estimate and a tax characterization, made before the fund year closes: it says the payment included money the fund gave back rather than earned, not that the fund is eroding.

ETFIQ, RDYY, income ETFs, data as of Oct 2, 2026. https://etfiq.com/funds/rdyy

Free to use with attribution for figures 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.
