Payout risk check
ULTY's last 12 distributions were very stable (consistency score 92/100).
Its share price moved -53.6% over the past year.
A 100.5% 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.
