What the record shows

APLY has paid weekly since 2023. Over the last 12 months, its 52 distributions totaled $3.733 per share, producing a 31.32% trailing yield.

The latest distribution was 1.7% lower than the previous payment. The average of the four most recent distributions was $0.0553 per share, compared with $0.0668 for the prior group, a 17.2% decrease. Distributions have frequently moved in both directions, consistent with the fund’s variable income.

The first annual period was short because payments began midyear, so its total is not comparable with later full years. The latest annual total was 4% higher than the prior year’s. Over 12 months, APLY’s price fell 13.1%, while distributions equaled 27.2% of the price a year earlier, resulting in an approximate total return of 14.1%. The positive total return came from distributions more than offsetting the falling price.

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.

Amounts are per share and adjusted for stock splits, so early payments appear smaller than the cash paid at the time; a year with an extra or missing ex-date shows as a jump in the annual table. Change compares each regular payment with the previous regular one; payments of at least 2.5 times the recent median are treated as specials.
