TLTW returns by period
Total return assumes every dividend is reinvested at the closing price on its ex-dividend date. Price return is the change in the closing price alone. The 3 and 5 year rows also show the yearly rate (CAGR).
| Period | Since | Total return | Price return |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 month | +3.41% | +1.94% | |
| 3 months | +0.30% | -2.44% | |
| 6 months | -2.04% | -6.72% | |
| Year to date | -0.03% | -7.23% | |
| 1 year | -2.31% | -12.23% | |
| 3 years | +16.55% (+5.24%/yr) | -22.94% (-8.32%/yr) | |
| Since first close | -2.12% (-0.51%/yr) | -46.57% (-13.94%/yr) |
Did TLTW's payouts keep up with its price?
Over the past year TLTW paid out 9.96% of its starting price in distributions, while its price changed -12.23%. Reinvesting every payment gave a total return of -2.31%. 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 Aug. 23, 2022.
- 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.
