15 of the 25 funds below have a full year behind them; the rest are not drawn.

Monthly is the common cadence because the options these funds write expire monthly, so the premium arrives on that rhythm. A weekly payer writes weekly options. A quarterly payer usually holds shares rather than writing against them.

The rate below annualizes the latest distribution at the current price. It is what the last payment would come to over a year if it repeated twelve times. It need not: amounts move with option premiums, and premiums move with volatility.

Read total return beside it. It counts the cash and the price together. A fund can pay 40% a year and still leave a holder behind the index it writes against.
