Where the marker sits left of the bar's end, the fund paid out more than it made.

Method

A synthetic fund holds Treasuries and options rather than the shares themselves, so it takes the option premium without owning what it writes on. ETFIQ measures 91 of them, of which 91 publish net assets.

The rest of the method

Across the funds listed here the cash paid over the last year runs from 31.6% to 111.4%. Size shows where the money is, not what a fund did. The list sorts one published number, with no scoring or weighting. Every fund ETFIQ covers in this category is eligible, closed funds included.
