As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
Among the 53 funds we follow that invest in shares, 5 charge a lower management fee and none charges less in total, at their last yearly reports. Both numbers are measured against the fund's own money, not the money it borrows on top, so a fund that borrows more shows higher costs on both counts. - The fund's own cost example: $1,000 invested costs about $7 in the first year and about $80 over 10 years, assuming the holdings return 5% a year. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document →
- Payouts: last fiscal year the fund told the regulator that all of what it paid out came from income. Most funds announce their monthly or quarterly payout on their own website, not in a filing with the regulator, so a cut or a raise there does not show up here until the next yearly report. A few funds do file a notice about a fixed payout; those appear under What happened, and when. As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
- Value of holdings per share at the last fiscal year end (Dec 31, 2025): $36.35. The shares traded at $32.66, about 10.2% below that.
As of Dec 31, 2025, from the fund's yearly report. Original document →
Over the last two years the gap (a "discount" when the price is below the value) ranged from 13.2% below to 9.3% below. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's annual report. Original document → - How the holdings did: up 9.7% over the last three months we have (April-June 2026), before the share price is taken into account. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- First reported to the regulator in 1994.
What a holder made
- The holdings over the last twelve months we have, to June 30, 2026: +19.4%. The quarterly reports carry no share price, so this is the holdings alone; the yearly report, once filed and read, adds what the shares returned. As of June 30, 2026, from the fund's quarterly holdings report. Original document →
- A past year says nothing about the next one. All figures are the fund's own, from its reports to the regulator.
Why the shares and the holdings can differ: the gap between price and value. Why payouts count: a payout that is your own money back.
