What the record shows
What the record shows is a monthly distribution history for IWMI beginning in 2024, with 28 payments. The trailing year included 12 distributions totaling $7.258 per share and a trailing yield of 14.67%.
The latest distribution was 4.6% lower than the previous payment, while the recent average was 1.4% higher than the prior average. In 2025, 12 monthly distributions totaled $6.842 per share. The initial year was short because payments began midyear, so its annual total is not comparable with the following full year.
Over 12 months, IWMI’s price rose 2.2%, while distributions equaled 15% of the price a year earlier. Together, the price change and distributions produced an approximate total return of 17.2%. The positive price change means the distributions accompanied price appreciation rather than returning capital through a 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.
