What the record shows
ULTY has paid weekly since 2024, with 95 distributions. Over the trailing year, distributions totaled $23.98 per share and produced a 94.52% trailing yield. Recent distributions averaged 4% less than the preceding group, showing that the payment pattern has moved lower.
ULTY paid $53.414 per share in 2025, averaging $1.1612 per distribution. The $100.19 total in 2024 came from a short initial year because payments began during it. That starting-year total is not comparable with later full years, so the annual figures do not provide a like-for-like growth sequence.
ULTY’s price fell 53.6% over 12 months, while distributions equaled 43.8% of the price a year earlier. Approximate total return was -9.8%, as the distributions offset much, but not all, of the price decline. The high payout coincided with a falling price, returning capital through the price rather than producing a positive total return.

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.
