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.

tells you whether the fund is keeping its capital.

Month by Month
Amount per share by ex-date month, 36 months shown. This fund
distributes semi-annual, February, May, August, November.
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.

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.
