6th largest outflow of 27 income ETFs counted all month: BALI +$135m at the top end, TLTW −$161m at the other.
Checked against the filing
June 2026: ETFIQ’s daily sum +$2k; SPIN’s SEC N-PORT, item B.6, +$2k. Matches the SEC filing for June 2026. Its next filing is due by Nov 29, 2026.

Computed by ETFIQ from State Street’s daily data: each day’s change in shares outstanding times the previous day’s net asset value.

How this is computed

Percentages are of net assets at the start of each window. Numbers are net: money in less money out. Checked against the filing: The month’s daily sum and the filing’s B.6 number agree within rounding or, where the filing’s is larger, within rounding plus the fund’s creation and redemption fees. The full rule is in the fund’s flows file. Every day and month ETFIQ holds for SPIN, back to Sep 2024, is in its flows file.

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.

Source: ETFIQ, from the fund’s daily share counts and net asset values, and its SEC N-PORT filings. Data as of Oct 22, 2026.

That is the share of the 164 income ETFs not writing on a single company sitting at or below SPIN.

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.

Questions people ask about SPIN

How much has SPIN paid over the last year?
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, SPIN paid 4.9% of its starting price in cash distributions, while the price rose 3.3%.
Is SPIN ahead of SPY?
Over the year to Oct 28, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, SPIN returned +8.6% against +13.6% for S&P 500 (SPY), so a holder was behind it by 5.0 points.
How often does SPIN pay, and how much?
SPIN pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 2.6% at its price on Oct 28, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
Is the SPIN distribution return of capital?
State Street estimates 70% of the distribution paid Oct 5, 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 SPIN next pay a distribution?
SPIN pays monthly. The last distribution went ex on Oct 1, 2026 at $0.0725 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 30 days the ex-date falls near Nov 2, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days.
What does SPIN cost?
The prospectus expense ratio is 0.25% a year.
How much of SPIN’s distribution is return of capital?
State Street’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 70.0% of the distribution paid Oct 5, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Oct 5, 2026 to Oct 5, 2026, the estimate is 70.0%. The annual report for the fiscal year to Dec 31, 2025 puts it at 0.0% of distributions. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.

The payout bar for SPIN, redrawn every trading night.

Free to use with attribution for data 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.
