KNG ETF Scorecard — Yield 9%, Total Return 114%

🎯 How KNG Scored

Cumulative total return19 / 25

114% in total return since the fund launched.

Yield backed by returns18 / 25

❓ KNG FAQ

What is the dividend yield of KNG?

KNG currently shows a distribution yield of 9%. Yield reflects the most recent distribution annualized and can change with every payment.

What is the total return of KNG since inception?

KNG has returned 114% in total since it launched on 3/26/2018, which works out to roughly 9.25% per year on average.

Is the KNG yield sustainable?

Total return edges out the distribution rate. The income has not been coming out of your principal. A distribution rate that runs persistently ahead of total return generally means capital is being returned rather than earned.

How is the KNG grade calculated?

Our B grade combines three things: annualized total return (50 points), cumulative total return since inception (25 points), and whether annualized return keeps pace with the distribution rate (25 points). KNG scored 66 out of 100. This is our opinion only, not investment advice.
