What the record shows

TLTW has paid 51 monthly distributions since payments began in 2022. Over the last 12 months, 12 distributions totaled $2.263 per share and produced a 10.81% trailing yield.

The latest distribution was 12.1% lower than its predecessor, but the recent three-payment average was 33.7% above the prior average. The first full-year total was $5.381. Annual distributions then fell in both subsequent full years, reaching $3.36. The partial opening year is not comparable because payments began during that year.

Over the last 12 months, distributions equaled 9.8% of the price from a year earlier, while TLTW’s price fell 9.6%. Those distributions nearly offset the price decline, leaving an approximate total return of 0.2%. The high payout therefore coincided with capital being returned through distributions as the market price declined.

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.
