Distribution stabilityElevated risk

HYT's last 12 distributions were very stable (consistency score 100/100).

Its share price moved -13.2% over the past year.

A 11.3% yield paired with a falling share price is the classic sign of NAV erosion: part of each distribution may be a return of your own capital rather than income the fund earned, and the share price can keep grinding lower even while the headline yield looks attractive.
