| 1 month | -5.92% | -6.86% | |

Did IAUI's payouts keep up with its price?
Over the past year IAUI paid out 12.36% of its starting price in distributions, while its price changed -13.79%. Reinvesting every payment gave a total return of -2.68%. The distributions did not make up for the fall in price, so a holder ended the year with less than they started with, even counting every payment.
Option income funds pay out option premiums and often part of their own assets, so a high yield can come with a falling share price. Total return is the fair measure: it counts both the payouts and the price change. Compare all option income ETFs.

About these numbers
- Calculated by FindETFStock from daily closing prices and ex-dividend amounts reported by Yahoo Finance, starting June 5, 2025.
- Total assets are the fund's net assets as reported by Yahoo Finance; for a fund with several share classes, such as Vanguard's, the figure covers the whole fund. Trading volume is the 3-month average of shares traded per day, times the latest price.
- "5 years" is measured from the first stored close, about five years back; a fund or stock with a shorter history shows "Since first close" instead.
- Returns are before taxes and assume dividends are reinvested at the ex-date close with no costs.
- Past performance does not predict future results. This is not investment advice; see the financial disclaimer and methodology.
