Month by month, money in and money outSep 2023 to Oct 2026
RYLG, money in and money out each month from Sep 2023 to Jul 2026: two bars a month, money in above the line and money out below. Every bar is from RYLG’s SEC filings (N-PORT item B.6). Oct 2026 is still in progress, so it is in the list and not drawn. Of the 36 months listed, money came in on net in 9 and went out in 11.
