The Erosion Map

A high distribution is only income if the price holds. For every fund with enough history, the change in price over the period sits next to the total return with distributions reinvested. Three outcomes: the price held, the income covered the fall, or the fund lost money even after paying you.

Each dot is a fund. The further right, the higher the trailing yield; the lower it sits, the more of the price has gone. Red dots are the ones where the income did not make up for it. Hover for the name, click for the fund page.
