How to read the figures: “TTM total” is the sum of per-share distributions with ex-dates in the trailing 12 months. “TTM ÷ price” and “Latest × freq ÷ price” are simple trailing arithmetic on the same data pull, not forward yields, SEC yields, or promises. * = the fund has less than a full year of distributions in the window, so its TTM total understates a full year. High option-income distributions can include return of capital and often come with falling share prices; distributions alone are not total return.
How many paydays each month?
Weekly payers pay 4 times in most months and 5 times in some. Counts below use the estimated paydays above for the 12 months from November 2026 (5-payday months in bold). Holidays are ignored.
