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 XLII, back to Jul 2025, 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.

That is the share of the 167 income ETFs not writing on a single company sitting at or below XLII.

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 XLII

How much has XLII paid over the last year?
Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, XLII paid 13.3% of its starting price in cash distributions, while the price fell 2.1%.
Is XLII ahead of XLI?
Over the year to Nov 4, 2026, with every distribution reinvested, XLII returned +11.4% against +12.3% for Industrials (XLI), so a holder was behind it by 0.9 points.
How often does XLII pay, and how much?
XLII pays monthly. The latest distribution annualizes to 15.0% at its price on Nov 4, 2026, which is not a promise; the next one can differ.
Is the XLII distribution return of capital?
State Street estimates 100% of the distribution paid Nov 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 XLII next pay a distribution?
XLII pays monthly. The last distribution went ex on Nov 2, 2026 at $0.2994 a share. The next is not declared; on a cadence of about 30 days the ex-date falls near Dec 2, 2026, which is an ETFIQ projection. Payment usually follows the ex-date by 2 days.
What does XLII cost?
The prospectus expense ratio is 0.35% a year.
How much of XLII’s distribution is return of capital?
State Street’s Rule 19a-1 notice estimates 100.0% of the distribution paid Nov 5, 2026 was return of capital. Across its notices for distributions paid Oct 5, 2026 to Nov 4, 2026, the estimate is 90.2%. The annual report for the fiscal year to Dec 31, 2025 puts it at 25.0% of distributions. Estimates come before the fund year closes and often change.

The payout bar for XLII, 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.
