Did the fund earn the cheque?

Yield tells you the rate. CoverCall Ledger tells you whether earnings supported the payment — from issuer financial statements, not marketing copy.

What distribution coverage means

Coverage asks whether the fund earned what it paid — not just the yield on the label. The Dist. coverage column uses accrual basis from issuer filings: at 100% or above it reads Covered; otherwise you see the percentage. Click any row for filing-period total return and the statement line items behind that coverage.

Dist. coverage — the list column

Counts period profit including unrealized gains while holdings are still owned. At 100% or above the table says Covered; otherwise it shows the percentage.

Filing-period total return

The issuer’s unit return for that financial-statement year (often with distributions reinvested). Shown in the fund profile, separate from CoverCall 2026 YTD.

Where the numbers come from

Public issuer filings and the market tape — not a paid data vendor. Spot a mismatch? Use Contact and we’ll look at it.

  • Source: public issuer financial statements / MRFP / N-CSR only — not a paid market-data feed.
  • Dist. coverage column: distribution coverage for the 2025 filing year (accrual basis — unrealized gains included). Shows Covered at 100%+; otherwise the percentage. If financial statements for that year are not published yet (for example a 2026 year before the annual FS / MRFP is out), Dist. coverage stays blank / “not published yet” until the filing is mapped. Filing-period total return and statement line items are in the fund click-through.
  • Launch year: shown in the fund click-through (Tape & YTD / financial section) as inception or first public print. Separate from Dist. coverage and from CoverCall 2026 YTD.
  • Filing-period total return is the issuer’s unit return for that statement year, when mapped. Separate from CoverCall 2026 YTD on the table.
  • Prices: start is Dec 31, 2025 close; current is the latest exchange last (TSX or US), refreshed after the close. We do not have a licensed live NAV feed — this is the most recent public print.
  • Table vs detail: AUM and the latest distribution are on the table. Launch year, start NAV, dist YTD, filing year, filing-period total return, and issuer links are in the fund click-through. AUM is a filing or tape snapshot — not a live feed.
  • Distribution: latest cash payment per unit — month of the ex-date shown (e.g. Jul 2026), plus cadence (per month, per 2 wk, or per quarter). Arrow vs the prior payment. Refreshed when new dividends post.
  • Cash YTD: price change from the Dec 31, 2025 close plus cash distributions with 2026 ex-dates, through the latest exchange last. Cash is not reinvested. Funds listed in 2026 use the first print as the start.
  • Reinv. YTD: same window, but each 2026 distribution is treated as reinvested at the exchange close on/near that ex-date (approx.). Neither column is the issuer MRFP / official NAV total-return figure.
  • Filings: issuer document page is in the fund click-through.
  • Corrections: if a figure does not match a filing, use Contact. We review reported mismatches; there is no guaranteed turnaround yet.

FAQ

Short answers to how to read the table. Not investment advice.

What is Dist. coverage?

Accrual coverage from the fund’s financial statements for a stated year: period profit including unrealized gains, divided by distributions paid. At 100% or above the table says Covered; otherwise it shows the percentage.

Is this investment advice?

No. This is research information from public issuer filings — not a recommendation to buy or sell. Confirm figures against the issuer’s documents.

What is Cash YTD vs Reinv. YTD vs filing-period total return?

Cash YTD is price change plus cash distributions — cash not reinvested. Reinv. YTD compounds those distributions at each ex-date close (approx.). Filing-period total return is the issuer’s unit return for a statement year (often fully reinvested on NAV). Different windows and methods.

Which covered-call ETFs do you cover?

Canadian income and covered-call ETFs including Harvest High Income Shares (HHIS, MSTE), Hamilton yield maximizers (HMAX, HDIV, HYLD), BMO covered-call funds (ZWB, ZWU, ZWC), Global X enhanced funds (QQCL, USCL), Evolve ultra-yield names (BIGY, UTES), and US-listed income ETFs. See the full fund directory or the Learn guides.

How is this different from a dividend yield screener?

Yield shows the rate of payment. CoverCall Ledger maps earned vs paid from annual financial statements — whether period profit (including unrealized gains on holdings still owned) supported the distribution cheque. High yield with weak coverage is a different risk picture than high yield with full coverage.

Where do the numbers come from?

Public issuer filings: annual financial statements and management reports of fund performance (MRFP). Tape fields (price, last distribution) come from exchange last prints, not a licensed live NAV feed. Always confirm against the issuer’s documents.
