Super Micro Computer is a single-stock equity holding that develops and manufactures high-performance server and storage solutions for AI, cloud, and edge computing infrastructure, focusing on modular, open-architecture designs with energy-efficient technology. As an individual stock rather than a diversified fund, it does not pay distributions and carries no fund-level expense ratio, making it unsuitable as a dedicated income vehicle. This holding appeals primarily to growth-oriented investors seeking exposure to the AI and data center infrastructure sector rather than income-focused investors.

How Dividend Vision calculates yield and returns
Distribution rate (the posted rate) 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 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 21, 2026.
