Understanding the Distribution Rate and Performance
The
distribution rate is calculated to give investors an annualized estimate of returns based on the latest declared distribution. This metric shows that while distributions may appear appealing, they could include various elements such as ordinary dividends and return of capital, potentially impacting the fund's Net Asset Value (NAV).
Furthermore, the
30-day SEC yield indicates the average income generated across the last month for these funds, reflecting the dividends distributed after deducting corresponding expenses.
The disclaimer attached to the fund metrics urges investors to recognize the inherent risks associated with investing, especially in the dynamic environment of cryptocurrencies. The distributions from each of these funds may not guarantee a profit, highlighting the volatility of crypto securities and the covered call strategy employed by Bitwise, which offers a way to generate income while accepting the risk of potential losses.
