How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (0.70%) has no calculation basis on file. Issuer rates can use a different denominator and date, including ex-date NAV. Trailing-12-month yield (3.88%) is the sum of split-adjusted cash distributions with ex-dates in the last 12 months, divided by the published price. It lags a recent raise or cut. 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.

SEMI risks and drawbacks
SEMI's current distribution rate is moderate, not a high-yield payout — the strategy is dividend quality more than maximum income. Payments are annual, so cash flow is lumpy versus a monthly fund. The deepest 1-year drawdown on record here is 15.4%.
Who may consider SEMI — and who may not
It is a weaker fit for investors who need monthly cash flow (SEMI pays annual); investors hunting double-digit covered-call yields. This is educational context, not a recommendation to buy or sell.
