What the record shows
FBY has paid weekly since distributions began in 2023, making 76 payments. Over the last 12 months, FBY distributed $4.599 per share, equivalent to a 46.69% trailing yield. The frequency provides a steady payment schedule, but the amount varies with the fund’s income.
The latest distribution was higher than the previous one, although the recent average of $0.0567 remained below the prior average of $0.070. The opening year was short because payments began midyear and is not comparable with later annual totals. The first full year delivered $10.268 per share; the following year’s $6.991 was 31.9% lower.
Over the last 12 months, FBY’s price fell 39.1%, while distributions equaled 28.4% of the price a year earlier. Those distributions only partly offset the price decline, leaving an approximate total return of -10.7%. This distinction matters because a high payout accompanied by a falling price returns part of that value through distributions while the security loses price value.

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.
