What the record shows

ULTY’s weekly distributions have moved lower more often than higher since payments began in 2024. Its 94-payment history includes 59 payments that were lower than their predecessors and 26 that were higher.

Over the last 12 months, ULTY distributed $25.516 per share, equal to a 100.18% trailing yield. Recent payments also moved lower overall: the recent average was $0.303, down from $0.3135 in the preceding stretch, a 3.3% decrease.

The first annual total is not comparable with later years because payments began during that year. ULTY then paid $53.414 per share in 2025. Over the same period, distributions equaled 45.4% of the price a year earlier, while the price fell 54.7%. Together, those moves produced an approximate total return of -9.3%, so the distributions did not fully offset the price decline.

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.
