Payout risk check

Distribution stabilityElevated risk

SLVO's last 12 distributions were highly variable (consistency score 42/100).

Its share price moved -18.7% over the past year.

A 65.2% 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.
