Returns with and without distributions

Price return shows the change in the fund's price alone. Total return also counts every distribution, reinvested on its ex-date: the gap between the two is what the fund paid out. In EUR, up to 8 Oct 2026; periods longer than a year also show the yearly rate. For a euro investor these figures include the effect of the euro–dollar exchange rate.

Add up to five funds to the chart above. Lines are rebased to 100 at the start of the period. Total return counts the distributions; price return is the share price alone, which is what tells you whether the fund is keeping its capital.

The fund against its underlying

Three lines, all starting at 100 in the underlying's terms: what the fund's price did, what it did with its distributions reinvested, and what the underlying asset itself did. The distance between the total-return line and the underlying is the gap you see in the screeners: -30.6 percentage points. A covered-call fund gives up part of the rise by design, so a gap is expected; its size is what matters.

The last distributions, date by date

The ex-date is the one that decides who gets paid: whoever holds the fund when that day opens receives the distribution, and the price opens lower by roughly the same amount. Buying the day before and selling the day after gains nothing — it only moves value from the price to a taxed payment. Our source gives us the ex-date only for this fund, so the announcement and payment dates are not shown rather than guessed.

Prices and distributions from the issuer and market data, stored locally and updated every evening. Prices and returns are converted from USD at the daily euro exchange rate; distributions are shown in USD, the currency in which the issuer declares them, with their euro value on the payment date. The €10,000 figures are in euro and before tax: the Portfolio Simulator can apply taxes. Past performance is not a reliable indicator of future results.

Important information. Master of Yield is an independent research tool. All content on this site, including fund data, screeners, scores, model portfolios and backtests, is provided for information and education only. Nothing here is investment, legal, tax or accounting advice, nor a recommendation or solicitation to buy, sell or hold any financial instrument. We are not a broker, a bank or an authorised investment adviser, and we have no knowledge of your personal circumstances. Any investment decision you make is yours alone: consult a qualified adviser before acting.

Our approach. Our model portfolios follow a purely quantitative, rules-based method focused on income. Funds are selected, ranked and rotated by statistical criteria applied mechanically: price erosion since inception, sustainability of distributions, dividend growth, yield and total return. No discretionary judgement or view on individual companies or markets is involved, and the same rules apply to every fund.

About the backtests. Portfolio results are hypothetical simulations run on historical data, not records of real trades or of any real account. Among other simplifications, they assume every fund could be bought and sold at its month-end price with no spread, commission or market impact; they show figures before tax unless you set your own tax profile under "Taxes", where you choose your country and can adjust every rate and the commission your broker charges per trade — those figures are an estimate, not a tax calculation; and they convert every amount to euro at the daily exchange rate. The fund universe only contains products that exist today, so funds that closed in the past are missing, which tends to flatter results. Many funds have short histories, so some results cover only a few years of a largely rising market. Rules may be refined over time and each refinement is applied to the full history, so past results can change. Past or simulated performance does not guarantee future results, and every investment can lose value, including the capital invested.

About the data. Data is collected from publicly available open sources and third-party providers and is not independently verified. No warranty is given as to its accuracy, completeness or timeliness. Always check figures with the fund provider before acting. Fund reference data (expense ratio, fund size, domicile) is completed with the EU ETF Universe dataset by Danimoth, used under the CC BY 4.0 licence: danimoth.com/dataset.
