### Method

Yield here is cash paid: every distribution over the year, as a percent of the price at the start of it. It is not a return, and the price change sits beside it. A synthetic fund holds Treasuries and options rather than the shares themselves, so it takes the option premium without owning what it writes on. 62 of the 91 have a full year behind them. The list sorts one published figure, with no scoring or weighting. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, closed funds included.
