How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (0.00%) is the latest regular payout annualized by the fund's stated frequency, divided by the last close. Issuers often publish this as “Distribution Rate” on the fact sheet. Trailing-12-month yield (0.07%) is the sum of distributions paid in the last 12 months, split-adjusted, divided by the last close. It lags a recent raise or cut. The 30-day SEC yield (-0.08%) is the SEC standardized figure when we have it. An issuer may publish a different SEC or TTM yield using another as-of date or share-class convention. Total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested on the ex-dividend date (a modeling convention, not the cash-settlement date) from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is the security's total return, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of September 4, 2026.

AIQ risks and drawbacks
Payments are semi-annual, so cash flow is lumpy versus a monthly fund. The deepest 1-year drawdown on record here is 20.2%.
Who may consider AIQ — and who may not
It is a weaker fit for investors who need monthly cash flow (AIQ pays semi-annual); investors hunting double-digit covered-call yields. This is educational context, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
