NTSI dividend growth
Trailing-12-month distributions versus the preceding 12 months changed 19.74%. That is the seasonality-immune income comparison, not a single quarterly check versus the prior quarter. An annualized trend fit on recent payments is 47.80%. That fit can move with uneven quarterly amounts and is not the same as a trailing-12-month cut. The deepest trailing-12-month payout decline in the past five years is -18.57%.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (4.50%) 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 (3.44%) 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. We show a 30-day SEC yield when the fund publishes one. Schwab and other issuers may report a TTM distribution yield or SEC yield on a different date — all can be valid; they are not interchangeable. Fund total return uses split-adjusted close with distributions reinvested from the first stored bar on or after inception through the latest bar, compared with the same window on the benchmark. That is what the fund did, not your personal gain/loss. Figures below use Dividend Vision data as of August 19, 2026.

NTSI risks and drawbacks
Payments are quarterly, so cash flow is lumpy versus a monthly fund. Total return has trailed SPY over the available window. The deepest 1-year drawdown on record here is 12.3%.
Who may consider NTSI — and who may not
NTSI may suit someone looking for a high Distribution Safety Score, moderate current income with a quality tilt. It is a weaker fit for investors who need monthly cash flow (NTSI pays quarterly); investors hunting double-digit covered-call yields; investors whose main goal is matching SPY total return. This is educational context, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
