What the record shows

SPYI has paid monthly since distributions began in 2022, making 48 payments. Over the last 12 months, it distributed $6.341 per share across 12 payments, equivalent to an 11.91% trailing yield.

The latest distribution of $0.534 was lower than the previous payment. The average of the latest three distributions was $0.5353, up 0.9% from the prior average. The opening year was short because distributions began during it, so its annual total is not comparable with later years. The 2023 annual change reflects an ex-date falling into a neighbouring year, not a change in rate; its average payment was higher than the opening-year average. Annual totals then rose in each of the following two years.

Over the last 12 months, SPYI’s price gained 2.3%, while distributions equaled 12.2% of the price a year earlier. Together, these produced an approximate total return of 14.5%. The positive price change means the high distributions were not accompanied by a falling price over the period.

A high distribution rate paired with a falling price means part of the payout came back out of the share price. Total return adds distributions received to the price change; it ignores reinvestment and taxes.
